I am currently searching for people that were
snt at the San Luis Obispo Vet’s Hall Riot on
ber 10, 1985 where the Dead Kennedys were

ve played. The lawsuit against me for promot-

ng the show is finally getting to the point where I
^eed all the eye witness reports that I can get. The
cal fascist police state is in the process of rail-
fading their version of “Punks go crazy” in the
jblic forum.

If anyone is interested in giving their version
: the incident, please contact me: Morris Samuel/

To the Readers of Max RnR,

And especially to those of an overly aggres-
sive & violent nature, this passage from a book by
Linda Ellerbee is dedicated to you. May you read
and learn.

"In 1983, scientists at U of C at Berkeley
completed a six month study of male power. For
their purpose, they used a colony of African
monkeys. Their basic conclusion was that the
biggest and strongest male monkey does not
always get the girl. It was believed the dominant
male of the group had first choice when it came to
mating privileges — but no. The researchers
reported they regularly saw females sneak off
into the woods with a variety of males they
seemed to like better than the dominant one.
Even the other male monkeys didn’t seem to like
this fellow, the dominant monkey, called ‘Ta’ by
the researchers, was indeed able to fight off other
males to protect his mating rights. That, in fact,
was his trouble. According to the researchers,
‘Ta’ spent so much time proving he was the domi-
nant monkey that he seldom got to enjoy the
rewards of his battles — and when he wasn’t
fighting, he was too tired to get the job done!"

In the words of the emminent Ms. Ellerbee.. .
“and so it goes."

Dear Max R+R,

I think Punk is back to the old days when
there were few punks and punk bands and places
for punk bands to play. It kind of scares me
because now I’m back to being a loser outcast.
When Punk was popular I had a lot of friends.
They seemed to be real at the time but after being
in this scene for about 5 years I’ve seen them
come and go. Even shave their heads because
that was the new cool thing to do. My ideas
haven’t changed. In fact, they have gotten
stronger. When I read old issues of MRR and see
all the letters of the dedicated punks I get de-
pressed because it seems that they’re gone. I feel
like writing to these people who were once punks
and seeing if they’re still into it, but I think I’ll just
leave my address instead. If you still listen to and
are still into punk, please write me and tell me that
Punk’s Q2i DEAD. It’s lonely in this city being a
loner.

ARWE/ 4848 59th PI/ Maywood, CA 90270

P.S. If you’re wondering where Maywood is,
it’s in south east Los Angeles. Oh and I’m 16 (well
in Sept.).

Dear MRnR,

I know a lot of us readers out there are in
high school and college, so this should be of
interest to many of you. The details can get long
and tedious, but I’ll try to make this as short as
possible. After a hell-like term (as a freshman) in
a Philadelphia Catholic high, I transfered to a
public high (I was lucky to get in since I was
stamped “Mentally Gifted” in 1st grade or so)
known for math and science accomplishments.
Completely different scene- cool kids, relaxed
classes, semi-cool teachers, etc. I was in love
with just about everybody and everything until I
got a good look around. I saw that a lotof kids that
liked learning and really knew their shit got lousy
grades because they weren’t part of the elite
clique that doesn’t care about learning, but just

sees how high they can boost their all-important
grade-point-average and joins as many self-
important do-nothing committees as possible.
We have annual student class elections, so I
thought I might be able to run for prez and still try
to keep my anarchistic beliefs. At the end of my
sophomore year, 2 important things happened.
First, while helping a friend do some volunteer
work in the student gov’t office, I stumbled on a
couple dozer pamphlets titled “Student Bill of
Rights and Responsibilities- School Dist. of
Phila.”. These little suckers outline what few
rights Philly students have, and could come in
handy. It was proposed in 1970, but the School
Dist. fuck-ups didn’t ratify until 1974. In my 8
years at public elementary/junior high, I never
saw these things. Secondly, I learned that you
need to be on honor roll to run for office. Since I
take the knowledge 1st, grades 2nd attitude, I
didn’t quite meet honor roll standards to run for
junior class prez. All the while, I saw the 3-time
prez use her office to get her and her elite circle
of buddies out of classes, and abuse other
privleges of the office. Nothing was done to
protect student rights. In Philly, we HAVE to carry
around PHOTO I.D. CARDS with our STUDENT
I.D. # and our signature. Nobody lifted a finger 4
years ago when these things started so we’re
stuck with them now. Anytime a faculty member
or dean, etc. asks for it, we have to produce it or
face mass quantities of detentions. If the dean
don’t like yer mohawk, he can’t punish you for it
(yet), but he can ask for your I.D. every day.
Sooner or later you’re not going to have it... Our
principal allows the armed forces to display their
propaganda in the lunchroom, but no anti-army or
peace pamphlets are allowed. This is in direct
violation of the “freedom of speech” right as it
reads in the “Student Bill". The ass also refuses
to allow us to wear shorts in the warmer months.
This is a problem as the only air-conditioned
rooms in the building are the principal’s office, the
teachers’ lounge, and the student gov’t office
where Madame Pres, and her cohorts relax in
cool comfort while the rest of us sweat.

I busted my balls to stay at honor roll level in
the “memorize our bullshit” classes. About 1 1/2
weeks before the end of school, a kid comes up
to me with the required 75-signature petition to
run for office. If I hadn’t seen it, I would never
have known about the June deadline for candi-
dacy and would’ve been ineligible. I rushed to get
the unannounced (except to certain people) pe-
tition and filled it quickly. The next day, I was
called to the student gov’t office. The faculty
sponsor said that since I wasn’t on the honor roll
for the 3rd report (out of 4), I was ineligible. I
explained that I would be on the 4th, but no dice.

I asked why this election was being crammed into
the end of the term while others took place at the
beginning. No answer. I was handed a copy of
the auditorium speech they censor before allow-
ing it to be read and asked to leave. The next day
I heard that 3 other pres, candidates were also
told they were ineligible - leaving a grand total of
ONE! Guess who? The same bitch who won the
first 3 times! Now I was really pissed. It was bad
enough our only device for protecting our rights
was apathetic, but now we had no choice of
candidates. That night I drew up a petition
DEMANDING a fair election (being an anarchist
I’m not quite sure that’s possible, but a democ-
racy is probably the best gov’t). According to the
“Student Bill”, petitions drawn up according to
their rules, which mine was, must receive an
official reply. School is, for some reason, sched-
uled so that the last 4 days don’t appear on
attendance records. Naturally, there was almost
nobody in school to sign-the petition. With 2 days
to add to my 30+ signatures, I typed flyers making
students aware of what was being done to them.
With one day left, I learned that NO ELECTION
would be held for prez. The bitch was being
appointed! We would just have a 3-way “race” for
V.P. All potential V.P.s were members of the
elite. I updated my flyers to be taped on walls
throughout the school. They called for protest in
the form of myself becoming a write-in candidate.

The election was to be held during the lunch
periods of the last full day of school. That day is

traditionally reserved for a sickening pep-rally
called “Move-Up Day". It is one of those events
with cheerleaders, flags, school songs, etc. de-
signed to keep the youth of America sedated and
apathetic while still impreesionable. It gave me
enough of an attendance, however, to get 120
signatures before the day started and elections
were announced. The sponsor of the gov’t
looked at the petition, but went right on ahead
with the mockery anyway. During the Hitler Youth
rally, our “new” prez was announced and they
said she was “unopposed". I hate those fucking
autocratic bastards more than I hate the jock/
thugs. A few friends and I are starting an under-
ground coalition (please, let’s not call it a govern-
ment) in the fall. We will have a newspaper, open
meetings for ALL students, protests, etc. I would
love to start writing to any alternative-minded
group or individual who wants to express support,
give us some ideas, or just exchange views. I
don’t care where you’re from, we’re all in this
together. Ifyou go to school, ask about YOUR Bill
of Rights. It backwards Phila. has one they hide,
chances are your school district might hide one,
too. I’m beginning to feel a bit like the “Frank-
enchrist 5” now. All you social deviants out there

MRR:

Could you guys do me a tremendous favor
and send me name(s) and address(es) of people
who live in my area — Jacksonville, NC — and who
would know where the clubs (scene) is around
here? I’ve only gotten here recently (originally
from New York City), and don’t know a thing
about this area. Reason that I’m here being that
I’m in the armed services (Marines). Why? Long
confused story. Anyway, shortly after joining, I
got into punk/ alternative music and haven’t
looked back. I find that the longer I’m in (1 1/2
years now), the more radical I get. By wnich I
mean, before I realized how fucked-up things
were in our society, but I was apathetic about it.

I let myself be led around by the nose. Now I find
that intolerable. I’m a very easy going guy, but I
cannot stand by anymore and let our freedom of
choice be whittled away, or not help the home-
less, or poverty-stricken, or not fight racism, and
on and on. I guess being in the military and
dealing with mountains of bulfshit day in and day
out gives me an idea of how bad (and even
worse) it could get if people let it. This scares me.
So, I’m finally getting off my lazy ass and sending
what money I can and devoting what time I can to
good causes. Anyway, before I get totally out of
control and ramble on for a few pages, let me say
that I’m going to be in North Carolina probably for
the rest of my enlistment (2 1/2 years to go), and
would dearly love to go to some gigs and meet
good people. Urn, that’s it for now, so take care
and good health to you guys.

Dear readers,

Has anyone ever noticed what TSOL
spelled backwards is? Hmmm...

Andrew Ingalls/ 9524 Arvilla NE/ Albuquerque,
NM 87111

MRR:

poor city kids. And for some reason the most
politically aware and active people I know, as well
as the most apathetic people I know are all punks.
Anyway, the whole point is this: take the positive
elements of punk and get active in something,
ANYTHING, that helps people, animals, the
Earth. Try to smile more than you scowl; hug at
least three people every day; and listen to others,
trying to understand them instead of immediately
condemning them.

Nearly a year ago I wrote a letter to MRR.
Nothing special, a brief statement about animal
rights and a plea for pen-pals. Strangely enough,
though, people responded and several of us
became good friends. Some of these people
changed my life; some I lost touch with. I couldn't
write to everyone. So I've been thinking about all
this and about the alienated radicals I know who
need friends. It seems to me that one of the big
problems that leftists have is that they can’t unify
well, and this has been a major source of frustra-
tion for me. Sure, sure it's all the rage these days
to bemoan the lack of unity in this or that scene
and then do nothing about it, and I don’t have a
solution to the problem. For now, I just want to get
a bunch of political activists from all walks of hfe
to start writing to each other. Even seemingly
trivial things like writing letters can change
people’s lives. Also, activists should do a lot of
writing because it helps us to get better and
better at expressing ourselves. So, if you’re inter-
ested, write a brief letter ( 1 12 page) about yourself
and send it here. Say whatever you like, but for
chrissake PLEASE write legibly. Once I get
enough responses, I’ll xerox them all and send off
copies of all the letters to each person. The initial
goals here are to get people who otherwise might
never have met to communicate, and to establish
a strong and loving support network. The long
term goal is to change lives, to change the world
person by person . So please write, to me or to the
network or both. Love,

Dear MRR,

First off, I ain’t gonna have my name printed
on this for obvious reasons. If you decide to print
it, ElQ_Na me , No Address . Cause this is kinda
risky.

Just thought somebody would be interested
to know that there’s more between bouncers &
skins than what meets the eyes. Now, this is only
a rumour — but it is substantiated by 2 people
involved & sheer logic dictates some of it.

My hair is kinda short so occasionally, right
after a haircut, I can pass for a skin — but anyway ,
under this situation I heard from 2 skins who
claimed that the bouncers at PRISMS in Chan-
dler, Az. are sellina tickets to skins at the rate of
1 7 tickets for $20 (This is when the rest of us pay
$ 8 ).

Once again, I wanna emphasize that this is
only on the basis of 2 skins bragging about it. But,
at some shows, I’ve noticed quite a few skins &
I’ve wondered why they make up such a huge
ratio of the audience when they make up a
smaller ratio of the total scene. And there are
other strictly circumstantial reasons for me to
almost buy it. My deal ain’t against the skins —
Hey, if I could get in for about a buck I’d do it. My
deal is against the boucers & management. Hey,
that money is probably coming out of backing
bands’ salaries, in which case, I wonder how
much you’re ripping them off?

Anyway, even if this isn’t true, it might be
worth it just to point out that the skins really don’t
seem to give a shit about the scene. Thanx

To Those who think,

In the past week I’ve received two letters
from some of my friends in Europe, both were
highly critical of the US “Hardcore” scene, and
while I answered both letters in a personal man-
ner, I also feel that the subject needs to be aired
in a public manner.

In both letters the complaint was that THE
METAL INFLUENCES IN US HARDCORE ARE

DAMAGING THE EUROPEAN HARDCORE
SCENE. This is not true. US Hardcore has been
influenced by many different sources, and
“Metal" is not the first, and I do not believe that it
will be the last. While it is true that there are
negative influences in US Hardcore today, the
real factor in the influence is not the “Metal" but
the attitude that goes with metal. Who can deny
that the so-called scene is larger now with more
independant labels, and even some “Major" la-
bels claiming to be independant. I have always
thought of Hardcore/Punk to be the ideas and
intelligence, and not the music. The true scene is
not built around the music, rather around the
individuals who work for constructive social
change.

Yes, we are plagued with the hollow sexist
men of the metal mentality, but they will be forced
out of the scene, or the scene will abandon them.
The cling-ons from the metal clicks are into this
because it is "cool”, but styles always change,
and they will move on and the true “Core” of
Hardcore/Punk will remain and continue be-
cause it is our beliefs and ideals that hold us
together and not the fast riffs of the format the
views are expressed in. Punk has always been
the elite core where intelligence is the uniting
force. Punk has also always been just a step
away from another music form, be it “Pop" punk,
“Metal" punk, or any other variety. There will
always be people who cross between those
boundries, and the ones who really care about
ideals, and personal/social betterment will re-
main while the ones who for some reason can not
support ideals and favor selfishnes will, in time,
disappear. We can not mourn the ones who
chose to go back to the “Metal” or "Pop” cultures
that they originally came from; instead we should
be happy for the few who truely care and decide
to really get involved in the real scene.

AncT on another subject I have reciently
become involved with a group of people who call
them selves the "SHORELINE PEACE COALI-
TION” and it has been a very interesting experi-
ence. The members are aprox 35-50 years old,
and I’m in my early 20’s, but we have similar
goals, and are working on marches to the Groton
Sub Base where our Govt manufactures the
Trident Submarine. They do not like Hardcore,
and Im not really into the stuff they listen to, but I
consider them more important parts of any
“Scene" than any “Metal” punk band, or some of
the racist bands whether they have hair or not.

MRR:

Hey there, all you people out there in punk
rock-land. This isn’t just a gripe letter, so don’t
skip over it. Once I saw punk as being an end, a
solution, now I see it as a beginning. Punk need
not and cannot provide all the answers, but that’s
o.k., as long as it continues to raise important
questions. I’ve dropped the defensiveness, ne-
gativity, and unrelenting hostility that I felt when I
was really into it because I’ve grown up some.
Now I spend more time being active in animal
rights and other peace issues and I don’t worry
about being as punk rock as possible. Don’t get
me wrong, though, I’m not saying all punks are
useless. Actually, punk is a really bizarre paradox
because it attracts such complete opposites:
anarchists and fascists, rich suburbanites and
poor city kids. And for some reason the most
politically aware and active people I know, as well
as the most apathetic people I know are all punks.
Anyway, the whole point is this: take the positive
elements of punk and get active in something,
ANYTHING, that helps people, animals, the
Earth. Try to smile more than you scowl; hug at
least three people every day; and listen to others,
trying to understand them instead of immediately
condemning them.

need friends. It seems to me that one of the big
problems that leftists have is that they can’t unify
well, and this has been a major source of frustra-
tion for me. Sure, sure it’s all the rage these days
to bemoan the lack of unity in this or that scene
and then do nothing about it, and I don’t have a

to start writing to each other. Even seemingly
trivial things like writing letters can change
people’s lives. Also, activists should do a lot of
writing because it helps us to get better and

ested, write a brief letter ( 1 /2 page) about yourself
and send it here. Say whatever you like, but for
chrissake PLEASE write legibly. Once I get
enough responses, I’ll xerox them all and send off
copies of all the letters to each person. The initial

Dear M.R.R. and Gary Hemp,

I don’t know if you’ll still print this letter,
because the letter I want to respond to was in your
May issue, and the June ish is already out. But if
my letter can help Gary and his feelings of isola-
tion then it’s worth risking not getting printed.

I too, am gay. Now a days that’s not such a
big deal to me but for a long time it was really a
fucking hard thing to deal with. And punk didn’t
help any. Cuz even though the punks say they’re
totally trying to change the world, they still yell
words like faggot and queer. (I know I’m general-
izing, but I can only speak from personal experi-
ence.) But they don’t yell shit like Nigger and
Spick.

I wanted to write to Gary (but there was no
address) and tell him that a lot of gays are
assholes. But a lot of straight people are too.
Fucking 75% of all the people in this world are
proof that God picks his nose..

I’d never do any of the shit that happened to
Gary. Cuz there’s too much ugliness in this world
and it don't need anymore. If you can’t trust
people who call themselves friends who the fuck
can you trust.

I’ve been used too. There was this guy who
I was in love with and he had sex with me, and it
was the most incredible experience I’d ever had.
I’d never felt that loved before in my life, and then
the next morning he told me that he just wanted
to "experiment” and that it wasn’t his speed. Now
I can respect this. But I can’t respect the fact that
he knew how I felt about him, and he used me for
his fucking guinea pig.

We're still friends, but that hurt like hell.

I ain’t no flaming queen or a pretty boy. I’m
a fucking punk, and I sometimes wonder if there’s
anyone out there who’s like me. Are all gays
assholes? Are they all effeminate? Straight
eople don’t have to accept the "gay lifestyle”,
ucking I’m gay and don’t respect a lot of it. It’s
bullshit! But just because someone is gay is no
reason to hate them. Shit, you can hate aspects
of black culture but you don’t hate black people,
the same thing applies to any minority group.

I think there’s a lot of cool (gay) people out
there, but a lot of em are afraid that if they come
out of the closet they’re gonna get grouped with
all the assholes.

So, if enough cool gay people (like Gary)
stand up and say, “Hey, I'm gay, but I don’t go for
that shit that the stereo typed gays go for,” then
there may be a lot more happy people, gay and
straight. Thanx for your time,

K.F ./ Livermore, CA

Dear MRR,

First off I’d like to congratulate you on #49.

It was one of the best issues I’ve ever read. Not
only were all the essentials there (scene reports,
interviews, zines, letters, reviews) but they were
well done. And those that wrote fetters deserve

kudos for not only caring enough to write but for
writing some letters with some thought behind
them.

Next I’d like to give a thumbs down to Randy
Ellis and The OtherSide Productions. I would not
book bands through him no matter who it is. In
Trenton, New Jersey at City Gardens he runs his
shows like a police state, this has resulted in a
very negative and violent scene calling for more
clamp down security. I apologize to anyone in
Jersey I’ve offendea. I’m not ragging on Jersey,
just the idiots there and the king of them all Randy
Ellis.

Mr. Ellis also did some backstabbing and
trickery in Philly. He went behind Chick Meehan’s
back, told lies about him, and tried to gain control
of Club Pizza z for his own selfish ways. Chuck is
a great guy and one of the most honest promoters
around. He gains almost nothing from a show
except grief, debts and headaches. But he’s
always smiling and always wants to help. So
when some Philly punks found out, they alerted
Chuck and banded together to boycott Randy’s
show.

As for booking bands through him, fine. It
depends on your beliefs, punk rock is just a type
of music, not a political movement. People use
music to express thoughts which is where the
politics come in. I believe in a non profit life. So I
won’t book bands through Randy. I’m willing to
book the bands directly though.

As for Henry, Meatmen, 7 Seconds, and
Uniform Choice, why? Is it the money? If so, fine,
to each his own. Or are you trying to reach a wider
audience? Well there is word of mouth, ads,
working through your record label, letters, phone
calls, communication! Many people will help out
because they believe in you and like your music.
There’s nothing wrong with one person booking
a tour. But when he makes more $$$ than he
needs to cover his costs and live there is. Espe-
cially 7 Seconds and Uniform Choice, have politi-
cal and social beliefs gone to hell?

Finally I want to ask MRR about their criteria
for scene reports. O. K. , O. K. , freedom of speech .
But the Delaware report in #48 was terrible. I can
excuse some of it because the person doing the
review was from Dover which is about an hour
and a half from Newark/ Wilmington. However if
you don’t know something don't make it up or
bullshit. Either leave it alone or find out. There are
tons of people all over the state to ask. I’ve never
heard INFECTION do a Minor Threat cover in
their entire existence.

One unforgiveable note is when you talk of
backbiting and how much it sucks. Then you turn
around and slag Wilmington and say Salisbury,
MD is putting Delaware to shame. What the fuck
is this border crap and our scene is better than
yours competition. There is no competition, we’re
all in this together. As long as you’re having fun,
doing what you want, ana are honest with your-
self that’s all that counts.

Anyone can write to me about anything. I
like to hear what other people think! I’ll return all
letters.

Wayne Romanowski/ 1316 Tulane Rd/ Wilming-

Dear MRR,

I only occasionally read your magazine and
have never felt compelled to subscribe, but after
i finished the June (87) issue, i decided that i
would. So what changed my mind? Several
things-first of all the mini-editorial on pg 2 dealing
with people being disenchanted with MRR and
punk in general. I wonder if you'd be interested in
the observations of someone who has followed
punk since the early days but has been alienated
from it since the hardcore era dawned, but still
keeps tabs on it? I first heard of punk in the spring
of 77 when i had completely given up hope of rock
music ever being anything worth listening to
again, let alone anything to take seriously as any
kind of social force, (by the way, it was a record
review favorable of "Anarchy in the UK’’ in a copy
of Hit Parader that i picked up out of sheer
boredom one nightwhile studying forfinals). Now
i’m almost 30 and i’ve watched punk seemingly
bite the dust — and i’ve come to the conclusion

that it is not all the fault of the various bands that
have come and gone since 77. “Punk”, or what
passes for it these days, is a cliched, self-referen-
tial subcult concerned with superficialities
(clothes, hair, etc) and trivialities (skateboards!),
offering no real opposition to this society, threat-
ening to no one but paranoid cops & xenophobiac
fundaMENTAList preachers (two humorless
types easy to piss off). Isn’t being overtly con-
cerned with getting all the rad new vinyl, wearing
all the cool t-shirts with your fave bands’ graphix,
etc., just another form of consumerism, just
another hip alternative capitalism? (i was
amazed at the lists of records in your reviewers
Top 1 5 — do they actually buy all these records?
Do they have any money left over to eat with?)

Not that its your fault. Maybe things are
changing, this cynicism and boredom with “the
scene’’ that you mention could be the herald of a
new maturity (or maybe not). The AIDS article
(although it could have been better) and the
columns by Yohannon, Board, & the Irish Rocker
are all examples of what i think we need more of.
And your letters pages are always excellent-
stimulating and thought provoking (as they say in
the NY Times). A good letters page is always the
best indicator of a magazine’s health. I would say
that many of your readers are apparently more
diversified in their beliefs & interests than many of
your writers and (certainly!) than many of the
bands reviewed/interviewed, even if many of
them (readers) seem too quick to rely on prefab
cure-alls like socialism, vegetarianism, etc.

Yohannan’s column on how the system
bought out the hippies and then sold the counter
culture back to them as status symbols is timely.
There are those who would say that it’s too little,
too late. I would suggest that anyone who would
like to persue that line of thought more thoroughly
acquaint themselves with the works of the situa-
tionists. The Irish Rocker’s column on conspira-
cies was especially welcome. I've been studying
the various facts and theories on the “secret
rulers” of the world for quite some time As he
pointed out, it's shocking and hard to believe at
first, but if you read enough source material
(which most people don’t. It’s not exactly cen-
sored — much information is availiable in any
well-stocked library if you’re willing to do a little
searching, but we’re conditioned not to want to
know the truth... books are boring, spectacular-
ized distractions from sports to.. .yes. ..punk rock
are much more fun), you can’t help but come to
the conclusion that someone or something is
manipulating events on a global scale for some
sinister purpose. (The exact nature and identity of
those who are behind all this is a never-ending
source of speculation and often bitter disagree-
ment among those in the field). This is the sort of
mind-blowing stuff that the punk movement
needs if it’s to ever rise above the simplistic anti-
cop, anti-Reaaan/Thatcher platitudes of most
bands’ lyrics. These creeps, bad as they are, are
only mere puppets, perhaps even unwitting ones,
of behind-the-scenes manipulators even more
vicious and inhuman.

In this conspiracy vein, it would have been at
least interesting to have seen some speculation
in the AIDS article on its origin. I’m not alone in
believing it to be a designer disease, perhaps a
bio-warfare experiment that was “accidentally"
leaked or possibly deliberatly to create panic and
justify some sort of anti-sexual dictatorship.. Or
perhaps some sort of really effective, radical
population explosion control (the “Glohal 2000”
theory). Doesn’t anybody else see it as coinci-
dental that AIDS pops up right in the middle of the
most massive, well-financed organized attack on
sexual and cultural freedom in decades? Per-
haps somebody has brought this up before and i
didn’t catch it, but as i said, i’ve missed several
issues

Despite the current state of stagnation, i still
believe that it is possible for punk to help build a
new culture on the ruins of this crumbling
technocracy... and it will fall, the only question is:
are we going to give it a helpful shove and thereby
direct its course, or are we just going to lay back
and let it fall on us? This greedy, suffocating
money/commodity society must be superceded.

but something more substantial than leather,
studs, tattoos, mohawks, and loud, fast guitars is
going to be needed to do it. That stuff’s allfine and
dandy, but punx need to open up and experience
different ways of thinking, feeling, seeing— and
this has to be reflected in the music as well.
Perhaps one major reason for the fast burn-out
factor that Tim Y mentioned in the Short Dogs
Grow interview is this dogmatic insistence on
faster, louder, harder. Bands who follow only that
train of thought are bound to fail to come up with
original ideas (if they ever had any) ana their
bodies are also going to feel the toll, for whether
we like it or not, our bodies do diminish in strength
as we get inevitably older. Hardcore’s all
sounded the same to me for years which is why
i don’t listen to it or even know-or care-who’s
currently hip anymore. More and more i find
myself listening to the classics" (groan! already!)
from 77-80. Maybe that’s just some nostalgia cop
out on my part, but at least a lot of the bands then
sounded as if they were having fun. We must
once again make JOY a crime against the state
and that JOY must find its way into the music in
place of this unrelenting grimness. I’m not talking
about some whitebread smiley face “positive
attitude" crap, but some real alternative to all the
fury and grimness that many bands seem hooked
on maybe because it SELLS to their captive,
readymade audience?). I realize that this society
doesn’t give us many reasons to be glad to be
alive and i know the need to exorcize despair,
rage, frustration, anxiety as well as anyone. But
too many bands have ghettoized negativity into
some sort of cool secret fraternity and robbed it of
its value as a tool for subverting the system.

I don’t know, maybe some people really do
enjoy jumping on top of people and having them
jump on them as well, but it strikes me as some
kind of warped substitute for real authentic com-
munication and unity. It would help a lot if all the
pit-kings would leave their macho attitudes (in-
herited from their parents and our militarist cul-
ture) at the door. To achieve any kind of lasting,
positive steps to anything better, punx are going
to have to mercilessly scrutinize their own cher-
ished notions and discard all the dead wood, as
well as realizing that the punk scene is NOT the
center of the universe!

Despite what the old fogies of every age
say, you can still be a punk rocker at 30 or even
older. But you can’t afford to be an adolescent
anymore. You’re going to have to decide which
you really want, a shot at a New World or just
another little self-satisfied clique of back-slap-
pers congratulating each other on how cool they
are.

Finally, you asked for articles from sources
your readers might not be familiar with. A good
source for situationist texts is Red & Black Books/
PO Box 02374/ Detroit, Ml 48202. Also from
Detroit is Fifth Estate./ PO Box 02548/ Detroit, Ml
48202), an anti-technology anarchist newspaper
who always have something worth reprinting. As
for conspiracy theories, there is Critique/ PO Box
1 1451/Santa Rosa, CA 95406, i can’t reccomend
it totally with a good conscience, as the editor/
publisaher Bob Banner, despite his claims of
publsihing a book that is beyond all ideology,
himself holds some of the worst reactionary
views. However, he has published articles that
are definately worth reading, especially Ben G.
Price’s “The Nuclear Threat Comedy” which
contends that anti-nuke protestors only reinforce
the power of the ruling clique. If you want a more
"politically correct” viewpoint on conspiracies, try
Mae Brussel!/ P 0 Box 2251 1/ Carmel, CA 93922;
send an SASE for her list of tapes, taken from her
radio show, "World Watchers International". Tom
Davis Books/ PO Box 1 107/ Aptos, CA 95001-
1107 has a comprehensive catalog of conspiracy
books & zines, including all the ones the Irish
Rocker mentioned in his column. A great book is
Adventures in Subversion, a collection of xer-
oxable posters by Anti-Authoritarians An-
onvmous/ PO Box 11331/ Eugene, OR 97440).
AAA are no longer working together, but you can
probably still get the books from John Zerzan at
that address. His ex-partner Dan Todd also has
a project, New Rage/ PO Box 11492/ Eugene,

OR 97440. Anything by Bob Black is worth read-
ing, especially his The Abolition of Work . A copy
of the essay is available for $1 .25 each from the
Out-of- Control Data Cornoration, / PO Box 432/
Boston, MA 02258 or the book The Abolition of
Work and Other Essays is available from Loom-
panics Unlimited/ PO Box 1 1 97/ Port Townsend
WA 98368 for $5.95 plus $3.00 postage. Loom-
panics catalog is $2.00. They have some great
books on anarchism, situationism, legal & physi-
cal defense, etc. Since Black doesn’t copyright
his stuff, you can reprint anything of his w/o
permission, but i guess that it would be aood
manners to inform him of your intentions. Black
essentially sees work— 9 to 5 paycheck wage
slave labor — as the basis of oppression, not a
side effect. Even lots of career radicals have
trouble viewing a society of no work or money.
And Black shows that’s exactly why they can’t be
trusted. I believe that dissemination of his ideas
are essential to help destroy the lingering authori-
tariansim in the punk scene (and everywhere
else too!)

MRR,

Thanks too much for Lawrence Livermore’s
column in issue #48. I really related to his opin-
ions.

I hang out with the so-called "punk” group at
my school, and sometimes I get so pissed off at
their stupidity. They’re trying so hard to be punk
that they forget about being themselves. A couple
of them dislike me because I’m not heavily into
violence, guns, weapons, etc., therefore f’m not
"punk”. I’m not sure where they got the idea that
these things = punk, but somewhere along the
line they became misinformed.

In my opinion, anyone who stands up for
wnat they believe in, does things because they
want to, and/or rebels against the world’s unjusts
and fallacies, is a "punk”. Anything rebellious is,
more or less, “punk”. There are just different
labels. (God, I hate labels.)

It bothers the hell out of me to hear “punks"
putting down "hippies”, because hippies paved
our anti-social way. They did the exact same
thing we’re doing now; htey just went about it
differently. The “hippies” revolutionized because
they were tired of tradition, so they sat down and
didn’t take anymore bullshit. The “punks” ex-
ploded without warning for the same reason but
this time they were pissed off. Pissed off at
society and pissed off that conditions had be-
come shitty again after the previous revolution.
I’m sure the nauseating disco fad didn’t help The
were pissed to Hell.

I have a wild haircut, wear unusual clothes,
have wild eye makeup, and I look very “punk",
and I suppose I am, but I’m also a "hippie". In idea,’
they’re basically the same. Both groups are ac-
tive anarchists, and I agree with Lawrence when
he says that the seeds are being planted for a
new upheaval. "Hippie” and "punk” will converge,
and I hope it’s in my time. Thanks for reading this
even if you don’t agree with me.

Stacey Lane/ Birmingham, Alabama.

P.S. I use quotation marks around "punk"
and "hippie” because these words have different
meanings to different people.

Dear Mykel Board,

The "all female mob” who “brutally as-
saulted” you on stage in Amsterdam would all like
for one, thanks for singing your stupid song and
second, an apology for wounds inflicted. Mykel,
you are wrong. Sincerely, somebody everybody
knows, Ruth Schwartz

Dear MRR and readers,

I was eagerly reading the Flipside in
MRR#49 when.. . thud! - OUCH ! I got it right in the
gut! Al and Holly referred to peace punks as
annpying elitists (look for yourself on 3rd
column, 1 st pg of interview). Well, it wouldn’t have
dug so deep except that for not even a week ago
my fiance called me an elitist. Well, I just had to
ponder this one over... (mull, mull, mull)... I guess
in a way they’re right — but yet not. I mean it all

depends on your point of view. Al and Holly were
right when they said that young peace punks are
critical with their ideologies — to the point of
aggravation and frustration. But they should have
said SOME of them because not everyone is out
of perspective, you know. They generalized. I can
understand that mistake. Forgiven. Now what
hurts is that, at least from the article, they didn’t
even give a care about WHY we are so idealogi-
cal. For me, I really care and have a whole lot of
feelings, worries, emotions, love, anger, hope,
etc... about situations, good or bad — and I feel
that it is my responsibility to speak up and hope-
fully inform someone who just didn’t know. Flow
am I supposed to know if you’ve heard my views
before? I’m also kind of offended at the manner in
which these 'elders’ sluffed off the young and
energetic. I don’t mean any dis-respect, butgeez,
have you already forgotten your youth? It’s not as
if we’re trying to intentionally massacre human-
kind! I was very confused because I got the
feeling that maybe apathy has set in — but that
couldn’t be true. Anyway, if we’re so elitist, why do
I get the feeling that you’ve been talking down to
us? You see, my thoughts don’t come from just
the mind, or just the heart— they come from both.
And I’m proud of it! I don’t preach to anyone, i
don’t try to brainwash anyone. If you’ve heard my
ideas and you don’t agree — then either say so
or talk with me and let’s come to a reasonable
conclusion — if there is one. If not, oh well. At
least we tried, right? I guess in a way though, I
have been elitist now and then. Mostly it’s when
I’m frustrated to the point of desperation. Now, my
fiance knows me well and understands this. The
good thing is I’m glad in a way that I have been
called an elitist, directly and indirectly, because if
I make mistakes, I want to know about them
otherwise I can’t work on bettering myself. I now
have a better objective view. So to Al and Holly,

I am glad that you said it, but gee you didn’t have
to be so harsh! Anyway, if anyone would like to
talk this one over, or anything else — PLEASE
WRITE! I’d really appreciate it. Oh, and if anyone
in the Hamilton/ Burlington/ southern Ontario
region in Canada reads this — PUULEEEEEASE
write or call me! I’m trying to get a half-decent
scene in the Ham/Bur. area — and hopefully a
fanzine too. Thinking=Unity= Reacting= Peace

Dear MRR,

I’ve read your magazine for quite a while,
and although I haven’t agreed with everything
printed, I can accept differeing opinions with an
open mind. However, something printed in the
N.Y.C. scene report from issue 49 sickened me.
Marc Rentzer praises the recent benefit to free
Charles Manson from Darinka. Now I’ll admit that
I don’t begin to understand all the mysticism
surrounding Manson, although I think Helter
Skelter had a lot to do with it. The bottom line is
that Charlie is a maniac with incredible leadership
qualities. Sort of like Adolf Hitler, except Hitler
stood for something, no matter how deranged.
Manson, on the other hand, stands for nothing.
He isn’t trying to take a stand on any issue, except
that he likes to kill. Not kill anyone in particular,
just kill in general. Should we really be spending
our time and money trying to free a guy like this
who says that if he is freed he will continue to kill,
when there are hundreds of bona fide political
prisoners all over the world? Think about it.
Peace, love and thought,

P.S. Anyone see Jello on MTV? How does
that song go — "MTV get off the...?"

Dear Max R&R and readers:

Concerning the recent NBAU/RCP contro-
versy; I’m not qualified to deal with specifics, but
I can say that I’ve seen it all before. An anarchist
who expects to accomplish something while in
league with communists is foolish.

Mikhail Bakunin’s association with the First
International Workingmen’s association is a per-
fect example. Bakunin and Marx were known to
have had violent disagreements, and simply did

not like each other; this is even mentioned in
Marx’s Communist Manifesto. In order to main-
tain influence, however, Bakunin remained in the
First International as "spokesman” of its anti-
authoritarian wing. Marx’s tolerance of Bakunin
eventually gave, so he "cleaned house" by expel-
ling Bakunin and James Guillame. This was the
first of several conflicts which caused the fall of
the First International.

In MRR #50, Michael Donnely cites the
example of the Spanish Civil War as another
instance of conflict between anarchists and
Communists. It is completely valid. Clearly, anar-
chists have a history of trouble with communists
as a reason to mistrust them. But this is hardly
"red-baiting,” because a legitimate ideological
distinction exists between the two “groups". By no
means am I saying that anarchists should not
participate in “non- anarchist" activities; but nei-
ther should we sell out and become dim voices
amidst a crowd of statists merely because both
sides agree on certain issues. We must cooper-
ate with “others” to overcome numerous prob-
lems. But can these problems really be solved
while the state, which is at least in part their
cause, exists? While strongly anarchist, I admit to
preferring socialist change to stagnation of the
state(s) as it (they) stand(s), but only when the
change can ultimately be considered a prepara-
tory step towards the states’ abolition.

I also happen to agree with Tim Yohannon’s
point (MRR #50) that we all have many extremist
anarchists to fear. This, again, can be proven by
history. Didn’t four men hang for another’s bomb
at Haymarket? Weren’t all anarchists blamed for
Czolgosz’ assassination of McKinley? My point is
that we all have enemies of many political
stances.

Now for my plug. Anarchist bands send me
stuff for the BAKUNIN WOULD BE PROUD
compilation tape. Non-bands send graphics &
essays, etc! No anarchist band refused. Articles
might be refused but thanks anyway. If this letter
read like a fucking history text, oh well. The worn
out and trendy “circle-®” still has meaning for
some. Live free,

In response to Jacob's so-called scene
report about Denmark - it seemed more like an
epitaph to me! - in MRR no. 49 there are a few
things I’d like to straighten out! First of all, it’s his
own opinion if he doesn’t like me or my band,
DREAM POLICE, the feeling is mutual, but his
indications that I’m not allowed (sic) to put on
foreign bands at my shows here in Aarhus orthat
I’d treat them bad to benefit my own band, are
darn lies! According to the little oracle of truth
RAF GIER should be the latest example, eh??!
You were there yourself, weren’t you?? Didn’t
RAF GIER play? And what about the ARTLESS/
GOD (NL)/ DREAM POLICE show in April???
where are your braincells, mate!? Up your ass?!
RAF Gl ER got their guarantee — 300 DM — and
THE ZERO POINT/ DREAM POLICE gotnone in
order to pay the foreigners so they shouldn’t lose
money on their first DK job. All bands get paid
after expenses — if enough people are attending
the shows. That’s a fact! Unfortunately not all
shows go that well so bands can get their fees...
that’s not an isolated problem in Aarhus but all
over DK where fewer and fewer attend the
shows...

Finally, “I’m just happy to report that they
(DP) haven’t got much of a big following” (quote)
What a big wanker! DP finished their first out-of-
DK tour in March with 7 gigs in Germany and
Holland and later this year we'll embark on our
2nd German tour. Obviously, you don’t know
whatyou’re talking about— pull the plugs, guys!!!

Jan MW in Copenhagen. All the best,

Dear MRR,

Hi all you out there in punkland, Todd from
Pollution Circus here writing back in response to
Martin’s column in #49 about our thought-provok-

ing show at Gilman. I feel we communicated our
ideas quite well at Gilman and I don’t think our
actions at any time jeopardized the club's well-
being. I don't, after playing there and seeing your
reaction to a little “civil disobedience" (as bad or
worse than real cops), and listening to the folk
from Gilman (mainly Nicole and Martin), I don't
consider us to share much “common ground." I
believe in direct action againstall oppression and
that includes marijuana oppression and I take
direct action against it (and other oppression)
every day. Smoking pot at Gilman was an act of
civil disobedience against the “double oppres-
sion” (i.e., herb is already illegal, it’s well-known,
but in addition to that, at Gilman, they have their
“no drug policy" which only increases the want of
the system to suppress peoples ' rights) of their
policy. In actuality, Gilman does not have a “no
drug” policy, they do allow drugs, legal drugs,
they even sell them (i.e., Jolt soda), and allow
tobacco smoking. They may be legal but both are
drugs nonetheless. (And both happen to be more
detrimental to human health than herb). If you get
harassed/caught by a cop for smoking pot you
get a ticket, a fine. For smoking at Gilman Street
Warehouse, they told me we wouldn’t be paid
because of our actions. So we paid our fine to the
Gilman Street conformity cops, a cop’s a cop fit’s
in the head). I have a lot of care for creativity but
I have very little care for conformity. Especially
lawmakers and enforcers of laws/rules them-
selves. You get police harassment whether you
work with them or against them, and by working
with them you make it all the easier for them to
harass you (i.e., undercover cops inside?).

I didn’t really feel that harsh words were
exchanged that night, right after playing “Walk
Tall /Walk Stoned," our anti-straight edge/ pro-
herb song, during which we (3 of us actually),
smoked pot. Martin came up on stage to talk to
me immediately, he told me how he understood
that we were really into the legalize pot issue
(fuck legalization, I wanna get rid of all laws,
entirely!), but that it was really boaus for us to so
selfishly jeopardize their club. I talked to him
quite mellowly for a few minutes, and at that time
he told me that we were welcome to stay as long
as we didn’t smoke herb on or around the prem-
ises and that we were welcome to come back as
long as we agreed, no more pot. I said fine, Martin
left and I proceeded to remove my equipment. A
few minutes later, Martin came up to me and told
me the rest of the management wanted to talk to
me.

So I went with him upstairs where about five
other Gilman folk proceeded to tell me how utterly
terrible our actions were, and they told me that
they had decided that they weren’t going to pay
us because of it. Not as punishment, they said
(well then, what the fuck do you call it?) These
folk seemed quite upset, which I thought to be
quite ridiculous to get so upset about a few hits of
herb being smoked in their club. When they
asked me what I had to say about their not paying
us, I said “Well, what can I say? But, fuck you
too!” (Which is what I felt they were saying to us
by not paying us). But their message was more
like, "Fuck you, we ain’t gonna pay you ‘cause
you broke our rules"). A few minutes later, after
moving some of my equipment to a vehicle out-
side, I saw Chuck, our drummer, in the conces-
sion room and I went and told him about the
management folk talking to me, and at that time
Martin came up and told me if I didn’t like their club
and I didn’t like their policies, I could just leave.
He kicked me out, no one else in the band. So I
went outside while the other folk from the band
and friends were inside listening to Corrupted
Morals. So, being outside there waiting for the
folk, I proceeded to smoke my stuff, and some
friends came over, Nicole from the club (the one
that likes to call people assholes and write letters
and call people assholes alot too), saw us and as
cops always do, she called for back-ups. Then
the whole Gilman gang came out and asked us to
all please leave. We said fine, so we gathered
together the stuff from inside and cruised back to
Sacramento.

I thought the folk at Gilman would have
taken it better than they did, I guess they’re just

too uptight! (Like Frankie says, “relax," folk).
Nicole wrote us a letter and told us what assholes
we were, and that people like us make her think
that anarchy is for assholes. Well, I think the folks
at Gilman have missed the concept of anarchy
altogether, or they would not have worked with
the police and gone through the system. In doing
so, becoming uptight and in ways like cops them-
selves (and judge and jury, and lawmaker, and
enforcers), they are conformists. I’m dismayed
that people become so set on laws/rules. Sorry,
but I have no respect for laws/rules. They were
meant to be broken because they weren’t meant
to be, and they will be broken until there are no
more. Until then, or I die, whichever comes first,
I’ll keep breaking them whenever I get the
chance.

I’ve talked to a lot of people about that night,
(and our smoking in particular, funny such a small
thing stirs such controversy), and about 98% of
them thought it was great. I think the audience
that night seemed supportive of our side— a lot
wanted to smoke, right on!). It was just the
rulemakers at Gilman that didn’t like it. Well, our
intentions were to stir some thought, and Martin
even stated it made him think, and I think it made
a lot of people think, right? Mission accom-
plished. It’s just too bad some of their thoughts
couldn’t have been a little more positive!

On another subject, all you active people
out there, be aware of the police, and take care!
I’ve been active for awhile (5 years or so), going
to animal rights demos, getting arrested at civil
disobedience actions, etc. . .And since April 1 5th,
when the A.L.F. torched a research lab (nooray),
at U.C.D. to the tune of 3.5 million dollars, we’ve
been getting harrassed by the U.S. Marshalls and
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. At
first they questioned me once, then called the
minute I got home, then they were at my door
every day of the next week. I told them if they
wanted to talk to me they’d have to have a
subpoena or a warrant. So, we didn’t see them
for a week or so, then they popped up with
subpoenas for us all to give the Grand Jury our
fingerprints and handwriting samples. Which we
did, since we had to! At this time, they subpoe-
naed us, all except Chuck. After giving our prints,
we didn’t see them for awhile, but all my friends
and old roommates were getting visits and having
them ask questions about me. They even
watched people go to our door when we weren’t
home, and when they were a block away walked
up to them and questioned them about me. They
also have our phone tapped. It seems like almost
everyone I know now has met the cops asking
about me. Now, just last week, they showed up
at the door asking about Chuck. The next day
they met Chuck and gave him a subpoena for
testimony, fingerprints and handwriting samples.
They also tried to scare Chuck, telling him how he
could go to prison just for lying to the Grand Jury,
and that if he had anything to do with it, it was at
least 10 years in prison. They asked him if I
threatened him (to kill him), if he told them any-
thing, and they just generally harrassed him.
Well, Chuck’s testimony wento.k. Hegotthrough
without "loosing his cool" like they wanted. (As if
he really had anything they wanted to know).

Now, just this last Friday night I was stand-
ing in my window at 2:00 a.m., and out my window
I see Don Barnett (one of our personal
watchdawgs from the U.S. Marshall), get out of a
car and walk up to our door. I heard Chuck ask
"Who is it?" and his reply, in an unreal voice of
authority, "This is the police." So Chuck opened
the door. They asked him what he did that night,
and then asked to talk to his buddy, Todd. So
Chuck came up and got me. When I saw him, my
response was “It’s 2:00 in the fucking morning,
what the hell are you doing here?" and he said
they’d been out for a few drinks and they came by
to say "Hi." I told them they weren’t people I
wanted to say "Hi" to. Then they asked if I’d been
home all night, or what I did, and if Ken and Richie
(our roommates) were here, and they asked
Chuck what he’d done that night. Then he (Don),
said they wanted to know because they had a
little trouble in Woodland that night. Chuck told
him where he’d been and I oroneeded to slam the

door in their face! We haven^t seen them since
then, but I (we) know they’re watching what we
do.

Don Barnett told Chuck one time that he
knew it was some punks from Sacramento that
burnt down the lab in Davis, and he was gonna
prove it. He also at one time just walked up to
Chuck apd asked, "So, just how did you guys go
abbut burning down that lab in Davis?” Well,
harassment sucks. Just remember folx, like
Crass says, “If you choose to leave the paths that
you’ve been taught, don’t expect help, so don’t
get caught!" Pot, not oppression!

Thanx for listenin’,

P.S., Thanx a lot MRR for printing our 1/2
page of info about our band. We got some great
responses. Thanx to everyone who wrote too!

Dear Todd,

I wasn't there that night, but just from your
description of the events, I’d like to point out a few
things. First, Gilman St does not have a no drug
policy— we have policies that will enable us to
survive as an all-ages venue. You decided to
challenge those rules, which from your point of
view is cool. From ours, those of us who’ve put
hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into
getting this thing started, you’re lame. Who the
fuck are you to risk our hard work ? If you didn ’t like
what we’re trying to create, you didn ’thave to play
there.

Secondly, as to not being paid as a “punish-
ment”, it wasn’t. You showed no respect for the
people and set-up at Gilman, and they returned
the sentiments. Simple. Tim

Dear MRR.

I wanted to write this letter in a way that
everyone could understand, without sounding
like a geek, but it just don’t work. I will relate it just
as I usually type, so fuck it... A letter from Burk-
hard Jarisch was published in issue #45, and I
want to expand on the subject, which was about
software, but I am, as stated, expanding.

There is a blossoming underground of
computer users involved in everything from hack-
ing (illegally accessing computer systems) and
phreaking (toll fraud, illegal investigation of the
fone company) to making all kinds of bombs. We
don’t really care for large software companies, so
the things mentioned by Mr. Jarisch don't apply.
We are pirates, and don’t pay for that kind of shit,
just trade it over the modem (a device which lets
computers talk to other computers). Why should
we pay for fascist garbage anyway? The people
who participate in these things are modern elec-
tronic rebels - most of the deeply involved people
don’t really give a shit about authority, and to this
effect distribute many destructive files on wreak-
ing chaos on anything authoritarian or estab-
lished.

Let me elaborate so as not to get anyone
confused: some of the people with computers
and modems call what are called “bulletin
boards”, where they can exchange information
on any topic or trade software. To do this, we
must usually “phreak”, which is often just a way of
making free fone calls, but can also involve fone
company subterfuge. Hacking is illegally access-
ing computer systems, but not as drastic as
anything pictured in “Wargames". Piracy is sim-
ply a break of copyright law. We do these things
to have phun (note: many f’s are spelled as p’s
because of the large effect of phreaking) and
communicate. I am writing this because many
people, in the punk community also, think of
computers as cold pieces of hardware. But when
you sit at the screen for hours, knowing that what
you’re doing is bugging the shit out of some multi-
death corporation or phederal (yes, that too)
agency, you get quite a kick out of it. Also, any
kind of information can be gotten, which may
prove useful. I realize this doesn’t seem very
positive, but the thing of it is this: the things we do
make the fone company and the government lose
billions of dollars each year, sort of like an ex-
tended Falwell game. We also profit from this, by
getting whatever software or information we

want.

I don’t see many punks out there calling
boards (mentioned earlier), and this is disturbing,
because you can help out in our “scene" also! The
powers that these skills give should be used for
good purposes, even more so as the world is
computerized. You don’t have to fight this, it is a
great tool for anarchy! If anyone needs help with
any of this, please reply and I will give my real
address, but since I have been in trouble with the
law many times, I can’t take a chance at present.

Dear MRR,

I would like to update folks on the "We CAN
change the world” tapes. Volume I has done well,
selling over 1 1 0 copies with many orders waiting .
If you have not received an order yet, please be
patient: frequent travels, a snapped master tape
and a broken tape player have caused great
delays. Any bands who sent material for the first
tape but did not receive a copy, please contact
me. Check with other band members first — I
don’t want to send four copies to every band. I
hope to have Volume II ready sometime in July.
Bands so far include: Forethought, Dissonance,
Maimed for Life (is the new tape ready?), Uptight,
Medical Melodies, A.D.S., Protest, McRad,
Brains of Humans, and Slapp Silly. Any other
bands/ people who have music/ poetry/ writings
for the tape and booklet, please send them soon.
All material should relate to the idea that "We
CAN Change The World." Lastly, I’d like to thank
everyone who ordered the tape from overseas
and sent extra money for postage, it really helps.
Thank you,

Dear MRR,

I’d just like to inform you of a correction that
you’d better make in the MRR Radio listing sec-
tion in the beginning of your fanzine.CFMU
93.3FM in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada stopped
airing MRR Radio (and ordering it) sometime in
February or March 1987, but you’ve still kept
printing that they still air it.So that’s that! I’m very
sorry that they did stop because I really enjoyed
it every week! I called up and complained but to
no avail. Any way, if this letter is by chance printed
in the 'zine, I have a message for the former
listeners-there’s a new hardcore show on CFMU
between Midnight-2:00 Wednesday nights
(Thursdaty morning actuality) every week. And
it’s GREAT! So if you live in the Hamilton/Burling-
ton area and you can somehow manage to get
the station tuned in (it’s only a 50 watt station),
then listen to it! I have been doing a few guest
spots on it and I’d like to expand the possibilities
for it. But that’s really hard to do without input from
the listeners! So get involved with our local
scene! It may be really bad right now but with your
help we can make it great! Okay?! If you need
more info or whatever, write or give me a call.
Thanks! Bye!

Hello to the MRR crew!

I won’t talk about the content of your mag,
which is rad, but anybody already knows that; but
just rave about some problems that are important
in my eyes.

First, let’s talk about a crucial problem for
fanzine makers on this side of the Ocean (it can

also be the same for you American guys and
gals!): I’m really getting angry (I’m sure I’m not the
only one!) with the way many U.S. bands con-
sider people who move their arses off to promote
the international HC scene (and not only U.S.
bands). What the hell do they think they are? And
I don’t even talk about “big" bands, as I would
never have expected an answer from i.e. Black
Flag! When a zinemaker writes to a band, this
band should take care of this person, or at least
respect him to a certain extent.

Personally, I spend quite a lot of francs to
buy I. R.C.’s to cover the cost of the replying letter.
These I.R.C.'s have become quite expensive
these days in France (almost 7F, that’s to say
$ 1 . 1 0!). So as we have to contact by and large ten
bands to make a worthy zine (ours is 48 pages).
But unfortunately, this is not really true, as very
often, half of the bands contacted don’t bother to
reply to the questions.

I’d really like to know why. What is this
approach of Alternative Music? It’s too bad we
spend money on bands we like, and that they just
give nothing back to us. Sorry guys, but HC
should be about mutual trust! Some people might
have missed this important point.

For the 1st issue of our zine, we wrote first
to 10 bands, and only got 4 answers; then we
wrote to 7 other bands and only got 3 answers!
See yourselves how much money we lost be-
cause of lazy people!

Be sure. we always do our best to send
interesting enough questions, I guess bands may
be bored with “when did you form” questions, and
so am I, but we incidentally don’t write many of
similar questions (only when it seems useful)
because they don’t offer much interest.

Another problem in the same vein is caused
by what I’d call “lazy but more honest bands”: At

least, they send you a letter with an info sheet that
is the same for everybody (xeroxed or so. ..), with
advertising, etc. They have the excuse of sending
something back, but it is still quite sterile.

If someone sends bands caring and sen-
sible questions, it can be considered as a per-
sonal effort, that should be rewarded by personal
answers, not that boring “Take it or leave it".
We’re about originality not about conformity,
remember this.

I’m not sure there are any solutions to this
problem, but bands from everywhere should
make an effort. It’s sad to ’denounce’ (Ha! Ha!
maybe the word is too strong) uncaring bands.
Maybe they have problems too, but some should
act accordingly to what they sometimes sing
about! This statement is valid for European
bands too, for you Dunkle Tage, The Ex, Indi-
gesti, ex-Combat Not Conform, G.R.B., Stupids,
etc. You know, I really expected more from you
all!

Thanx a great deal to all bands who cared to
reply, you know who you are!

P.S. If anyone wants to help us or wants to
be helped by us, please contact us from when-
ever you live, we need even more contacts,
friends throughout the world. How about swap-
ping scene reports, gig reports, interviews, socio-
political stuff, tapes too? (of course!) The more
ou send the more you get seems to be a good
asis. Our zine #1 is now out (sorry it is in French,
but next issues will have English pages, so...) it
costs (8F + postage). To U.K. people: I’ll live in
England from September onwards, I need pals
(boys + girls), write please.

P.P.S. Ska bands we also need you! Japa-
nese bands, where are you?

Amsterdam: Hash Hole For Hassles Or
Hell Hole For Assholes?

This report was seriously delayed, because
the intense THC bloodcount affected motivation,
just as the straight edge crowd warned me. This
also explains my decision to only release 60
rather than 80 cassettes this year.

Glory . First smokeshop of the day, and only
purchase required to get through the entire day:
two bags (decorated with pot leaves) of Thai
weed for a total of 25 guilder ($12.50).

The place was a dive, ratty furniture, yet
display case with individualized hats, t-shirts
ana patches. A glass of Spanish orange juice and
a discussion of pit bull terriors with the dealer, a
wiry little guy who shows me on his elbow a
tattoo of a whirlpool of skulls.

Screens . A nearby coffeeshop with top 40

types hanging around, top 40 blasting... no way
I want to hang around in this place!

Nijmegen . Had meant to survey the local
scene, but a local guy showed up with an incred-
ible mix of locally available weed... thick dried
Columbian buds, weird purplish stuff. He acts
shocked when I ask if he works for one of the local
coffeehouses. He has even easier ways of getting
his stuff, I guess. Then a guy who drove us
' " dlai -

says. All the hashish is freshly
smuggled in, soft and juicy.

Dutch Treat . One of many smokeshops
located in the general area around the train sta-
tion. They are literally everywhere once you
recognize the telltale signs, some obvious, some
subtle. Some such as The Grasshopper are fancy
enough to be a French cafe, others such as The
Bulldog have McOutlets in various popular
neighborhoods, others such as C'est vrai are
independent little operations catering more to
locals and weirdos and seem to be thriving over
the years.

At my table I overhear the chatter of the
locals that come by to get smoke, most of it
related to day to day, personal stuff. No suspi-

cious deals or pushing of hard drugs.

Ltcn cops were rousting <

ing a guy near
"What are you

The Dutc

the gepacke (baggage lockers),
trying

to buy? Empty your pockets!" they shouted as
they spreadeagled the dude.

Vera . This place used to sell dope, but not
anymore. The increasing number of coffeeshops
has led to dope as an industry rather than just a
youth center activity. Some of the reasons the

/era management were glad to

get out of pot

d t’

dealing included the
trustworthy dealer commanded and the social
security cost of a fulltime dealer. These dealers
are officially registered, have a union and there is
speculation about to what extent the Dutch gov-
ernment must already collect taxes on the stuff.

Imagine the amount of hash and pot that
comes in Amsterdam's ports each day (the entire
city is a port, remember) as various boats come
and go, delivering who knows what to where.
Tete from Vera takes me over to a Gronigen

YOUR PLACE . Despite the name of this
coffeeshop the owner hassled me when I walked
in and used the bathroom without first asking his
permission. Gee! Sorry! Mother, may I! Here's

my chance to tell him what I didn't have the guts
to at the time: blow it out your ass! This changed
my mind about staying and toking up. The guy
quite obviously wanted to push me around oe-
cause I seemed like a foreigner.

Goa . At this spot I was offered "larger
quantities" after getting 25 guilders worth of
Thai stick. I noticed he also offered hashish to an
older rockabilly/teddy boy type with a dyed
blonde tail in back. The guy was just sitting there
drinking an orange juice.

"No, no hash for me," the guy answered.
"But where do I find Ecstasy?"

"Out on the street," the dealer said.

"Oh , but out on the street is so difficult," the
guy answered.

"Don't you know anyone?"

The dealer shook his head. It was funny
when hours later, after wandering around lost, I
saw the same guy in another coffeeshop in a
completely different part of town, no doubt still
straggling around looking for the Ecstasy.

He wasn't kidding about "the street*' being
rough. Amsterdam is a lovely place and you still
see toddlers riding around alone on tricycles but
you also have an international all-star cast of
scumsucks. The concept of trying to score some
high-pressure drug out on tne streets seemed
terrifying, and I was glad I wasn't that type of
person.

Black Star . With reggae blasting, procured
25 g. of African pot. Am surrounded by Africans
discussing the morality of Teddy Pendergrass'
auto accident.

"A man of God won't let a woman do this to
him," one guy said.

I couldn't tell whether they wanted me to
roll one up for them or not, so of course I didn't.

Garfield . No doubt unlicensed use of the
Jim Davis cartoon personality. Out of orange
juice, so I split.

Fancy Free . Pink space cake. A few blocks
away a stop along a canal turned out, strangely
enough, to be the exact spot by a randomly
drawn "x" on my map days before.

Hash Museum . A Swiss guy reccomended
this spot, especially "the plant in the back." He
was on his way back from Morocco. After the
dealer in Goa snowed him all the available hash,
this guy reached in his sock and pulled out his
own piece, which

he said was superior. He wouldn't let on his
methods of smuggling, though.

"Once you have a method that works, you
don't tell anyone," he said. "Or else everyone
does it this way and then the authorities catch
on."

Anyway, the Hash Museum. Looks sort of
like a tourist trap. And anyway, someone high up
in the government took offense to its existence.
Somehow, to this bureacrat, the concept of one
dinky place advertising itself as a "hash mu-
seum" was more offensive than thousands of
coffeeshops selling the stuff. So they shut it
down. It was a small, one paragraph item buried
on the back pages of the local paper only days
after I'd gotten home, the memories of the canals
and the coffeeshops still lingering.

been constantly in existence 'Prom the early
days with the Sex Pistols to the birth of the
hardcore scene in '79-'8 0, and even bringing us
into the present with what feels like the deveL
opement for a third wind, fanzines have been
through it all and yet the term "sell out" seems
irrelevant in most cases*

promoters have taken the easy
have the habit of keeping in touch with their
grassroots. What I see reflected in fanzines are
the basic intentions of creativity and communi-
cation. There just isn't that much concern with
the amount or copies that will be sold or how
much profit will be made. The "do it yourself"
mentality is strong with those who do fanzines,
whether their creators know it or not.

With fanzines, there has always been a solid
network of trading and exchanging reviews.
Some fanzines solely depend on mail order or
direct sales foT distribution and are happy with
the response they receive. To me, this is a very
respectable form of independence.

Each day, MRR gets anywhere from 5 to 10
fanzines from around the world and still the

As far as how MRR is currently concerned
with other fanzines... the "Between The Lions"
column still appears in every issue with an
average listing of appoximetalv 80 zines. For
those of you who are unfamiliar with the details,;
here's how it works: Send us a copy of your zine
and we will list it in the next possible issue. In
return, you will receive a copy of MRR that
Contains your listing. Very simple. Now, the
pupose of this column is to help expose the
existance of other fanzines, give a brief due as to
their content and format plus, if at all possible,
instigate correspondence between people. IF this
idea strikes your interest, send in your zine— and
for those of you who have done so in the past,
please continue.

Several issues ago MRR ran a announce-
mentasking zinc editors to submit prepared half
page pieces explaining what their Zine i$ about.
For the most party what we received were noth-
ing more than half page ads. Maybe the an-
nouncement was misleading because what we
really w’ant is for zine editors to submit artides
explaining in as much depth a$ possible the
reason and pupose of the zme. Describe a brief

advantage of this offer: Hopefully, we can build
these pieces into a. monthly section that will

I was standing near the back of a room full
of more spikes anastuds than a porcupine S&M
orgy. Onstage were the Scottish band OI POL-
LOI. Their music was pretty OK, sort of a blend
of the best of Britpunk with some heavy Ameri-
can thrash influences. The lyrics, what I could
make out of them, sounded good too.

But I couldn't get over the feeling that it was
all a lot of, as Willie the Shake put it, ^sound and
fury signifying nothing." It wasn't just that about
half the audience looked like they'd been frozen
in a time capsule back in 1979 and got thawed out
once a month to populate these punk rock nostal-
gia events (by the way, they really do have punk
revival shows; I saw a poster for one in south
west England: "Where were you in '77? If you
weren't there then, be there now"). And it wasn't
that, regardless of all the revolutionary rhetoric
in the air, the ones profiting most from this show
were the corporations selling massive quantities
of $2 a glass beer and $2.50 a pack cigarettes (at
least half of which goes directly into the hands of
the government).

It was when the band went into its anti-
apartheid free South Africa song that I realized
what was bothering me. It was strange enough
that the drummer was wearing a SKREW-
DRIVER t-shirt (for those who don't keep up
with these things, SKREWDRIVER are the
overtly racist British band whose singer is also a
leader in the neo-fascist National Front). Looking
around the room, I noticed several other guys
wearing the same t-shirt. But I also noticed
something more significant. We could just as
easily have been in South Africa, because there
wasn't a single black person there. In fact, like at
most punk snows, the audience was about 90%
white males.

ow you might say, "So what?" And be-
sides, who am I to criticize; except for the young

f ?art, I fit right into that category myself. Well,
ook at it this way: everyone knows that the
reason incest is discouraged is because too much
inbreeding leads to mental and physical defects,
right? The same goes for the cross- pollination of
ideas; if the only people you ever see or talk with
are pretty much the same as you, the kind of
collective thought produced tends to get pretty
deformed.

So what's the deal? Maybe punk rock was
never meant to be anything more than an alterna-
tive form of athletics for the hyperactive children
of the middle and upper classes (and spare me
the romantic rhetoric about punk being a crea-
tion of working and lower-class youths with "no
future"; people who are genuinely hard up are
more concerned with putting food on the table
than listening to some green-haired vegetarian
lecture about animal rights or buying the latest
vinyl from Johnny Positive Aggression and his
Crucial Hcadbangers). Of course a quick flick
through the letters pages of MRR will show that
the thoughts and feelings of many punk rock fans
o quite deep indeed; the question is, why
aven't they penetrated to society at large?
There's a big segment of the scene, of
course, that wants to keep punk as an under-
ground cult. One of the reasons for that is proba-
bly the memory of how mass media exposure
quickly wrecked most of what was good about
the 60s counterculture. But there's such a thing
as going too far to the opposite extreme; while the
hippies were probably too open about what they

were doing, punks have made themselves al-
most totally inaccessible. The result is that those
outside the scene (about 99.99% of the world's
population) don't know anything about punk as
it's evolved since 1977.

An illustration: I've got some friends in
London, who couldn't be classed as punks, but
who are caring intelligent individuals who also
love good music. I haven't been able to get any of
them to come to a punk show with me because,
"They're all just glue-sniffers and skinheads."
I've heard similar lines from my non-punk
friends back in San Francisco.

Another example: I picked up a couple of
kids hitchhiking in North Wales. They were both
17, and looked as if they could be on rneir way to
a 7 Seconds show (before the tragic downfall and
U2ization of that once-great group, of course).
But they weren't. They were on their way to the
local atomic power plant, where they worked
loading nuclear fuel for 68 bucks a week. Weren't
they scared of radiation? No, the government
says it's safe. Besides, there aren't any other jobs
around here. Punk? They'd heard of the Sex
Pistols. This was a whole 200 miles from London,
and these were not dumb kids. They'd just never
been exposed to anything else.

Multiply that level of ignorance by the bil-
lions of people living in far more remote and
backward places, ana the idea of punk rockers
thinking they're going to change the world starts
to seem pretty ludicrous. At the same time it
becomes all the more essential, but the place most
unksters have got to start is with themselves,
oo many of us come across like missionaries,
graciously bestowing the benefits of our "supe-
rior" culture on those less privileged than our-
selves. If we spent as much time learning as we
do teaching and preaching, everyone would be
better off.

It's easy to sing about freeing South Africa.
But how many of us have bothered to learn any
of the lessons of tribal life that could be applied to
our own social units? Aren't there elements of
African music (and other indigenous music from
all over the world) that could be incorporated
into our own music and make it a hell of a lot
more interesting?

And despite the anti-sexism of our more
enlightened bands (that immediately eliminates
about half the bands on the so-called scene),
women are still a small minority in punk rock
and openly gay people are almost non-existent (I
have to say though, that I agree here with Mykel
Board: gay and straight are meaningless and
stupid classifications). But hey, we're talking
about more than half the human race. Women
and men, and those who fit somewhere in be-
tween, have a hell of a lot to teach one another,
but only if they're communicating openly and as
equals, something that's not possible when the
scene is dominated by its most macho and ag-
gressive elements.

One last example of ho w far we've got to go:
here in England there's just been an election and
the extreme right-wing government of Margaret
Thatcher has been returned to power for a third
consecutive term. An awful lot of her support
came from young people, including many
trendy fashion punks. Equally important to her
victory were the two or three million young
people who have most to lose under her anti-
working class policies, but who saw no point in
participating in the election at all. This despite
the fact that, unlike America, there is a genuine
left-wing alternative here, pledged to guaran-
teed income, medical care, education, and hous-
ing, as well as a nuclear-free Britain. But most
people are kept, as the dead Beatle put it, so
f 'doped up with religion and sex ana tv" that
they don't even want to know about it.

But enough moping and moaning. I still
think, in fact I know there's hope. And 1 know I
keep harping about the Gilman Street Project,
but to me it represents, on admittedly a very
small scale, the kind of co-operative social enter-
prise that could serve as a model for much bigger
things. Entirely voluntary and with no profit
motive: what if farms, factories and governments
could be run the same way?

But in order to make things work that way,
we've all got to get a lot wiser. And as my friend
Jane recently wrote to me, paraphrasing a poem
she'd seen on a bus: "You can talk to walls, or to
living, breathing flesh forever — but it will not
gain you wisdom." Then she added, "I think

language is often used to avoid feeling. You can
talk about something because it's easier than
feeling it. Maybe that's not exactly what the
poem was talking about, but anyway, open eve-
rything up and go out there ana seek."

"Why. don't vou write about that instead of

What he was talking about was our discus-
sion concerning sexual superiority. - So; for you,
Gavim I'm writing about it.

males of the same. The usual excuse is some sort
of cultural socio-economic conditioning. A
group here in New; York Called "guerilla girls"
says there reall y are th e sa me amoun t of .
each, only you just never hear about the female
ones.. It's supposed to be sonic sort of conspiracy;.

It would be heresy to suggest that the lack of
females in these -areas is due to the biological
superiority of one gender over the other. That, of
course, is exactly what Fm u#ggestmg. Further;
Fm suggesting that it is the result of FEMALE
rather than male biological superiority and it is
this natural phenomenon that many feminists
are trying to eliminate.

What do these male scientists, generals,
artists and politicians have in common? LeFs

Why bother making art or bombs? These activi-

Somehow things got distorted. Somewhere
in the past it became "better" to make machine

Now before thejetters start coming, I want
to say I don't believe that girls should be prohib-

should be able to hold any job in any field. There
also might be such a thing as the need to express;

„ I've read that punk is dead (or dying). Fr
Well, maybe it's partially true in some parts SI

At f Via aai J ..i- i-1 1 _ r* 1 • A 1 a

of the country or world, but that’s definitely
not the case here in northern California.
Recently, through the MRR radio show, we
asked lor people in every town within our
listening range to call in and take responsi-
bility for turning in a list of all existing punk
bands in their community. We coordinated
their lists with our own booking lists from
Gilman Street, and came up with one hu-
mongous catalog. Some of the bands we only
have partial info on (as notated by an *), and
I'm sure there are still many bands that
didn’t get listed at all. Perhaps we wil update
this list regularly, or maybe print the com-
plete list again every 6 months. One thing:
unless otherwise noted, all phone numbers
are area code (415).

The list is about 200 bands long, so I
assume this will be enough ammo to silence
the naysayers for a while. It might be nice to
publish a listing like this for every area in the
world, as it really helps bands get in touch
with each other, as well as helps out promot-
ers, zine publishers, comp tape issuers, etc.
Because of our radio show (which covers
about 80% of northern California), it was
easier for us to organize such a listing, but if
people elsewhere feel that they too have the
resources to make a listing for their locale or
metropolitan area, than do send it in to us.
Thanks, Tim

A few bits of info on the local scene. The
Farm is reopening, and for bookings call
(415) 826-4290. Tne number for the Chat-
terbox is (415) 821-1891. As to Gilman St,
we’ve been having some interesting times.
We did a great show with 10 local bands, all
of whom will appear on a double 7" on MRR
Records sometime this summer. They all
shared equipment, cheered each other on,
and it was the best spirit at a show I’ve seen
in years- the place is finally doing what it
was meant to, provide the glue for a commu-
nity. We had some brief problems with
people who weren’t really into what the place
was about, but everyone pulled together and
made some decisions on now to deal with it,
and that seems to have worked as well-
people viewing it as their home, and they’re
finding the desire to take responsibility for
runningit. The bottom line is: if you come to
Gilman ot, respect others and they’ll respect
you, but if intimidation is your thing, go
elsewhere. No one is makingyou come there.

Dear Chicago,

By the time you read this I will be gone.
I ve lived a fine and decent life in this town
but alas, I must move on. I’m moving to
Asheville N.C. to carry on that punk rock
tradition of carousing & carrying on & doing
shows. But before I leave I must share a bfi
with you. Shows have been great here lately
even though the Metro isrft doing multi-
million dollar hardcore anymore (too many
fights, etc) Lots of the cancelled shows were
moved to Medusas Meat Market - but I
don’t know what ticket prices are. Although

Metro is still doing more “mellow” shows and
the Wednesday night “Rock Against Depres-
sion" shows — 3 bands/ 3 bucks — can’t be
beat! Another cool place is Batteries Not
Included doing a variety of shows with lots of
great bands & its atmosphere is the best —
definitely my favorite place. Also there’s
Club Dreamerz doing mostly locals (so far) in
a room the size of mv living room (but that’s
cool) — Cheap too! The last of the clubs is
Club Studdola. It’s really kind of strange but
they’re doing good business.

That brings us to INDIES — a place

called The Bank being run by Ted of the now
defunct (??) Warehouse — I haven’t been

aiiuws uicic again out now kuss Irom
FUDGE TUNNEL is taking over. Also coming
up is LIVESTOCK 87 aF Bill Cow’s house
again with “some big secret names."

.. Other things napnin’ are Landmind
Underground - run bv record label Land-
mind. it’s basically suburban “punks" that
meet weekly to put on shows, etc. — but you
can only go to their shows if you have a
Landmina patch — which you can get by
attending the meetings and iT they want you.
(Even though I thinklhe label rules, I’m not
sure about the Underground.) Also Impact is
still doin’ their duty and has their first issue
‘zine out. And Shred of Dignity (skaters
union) called a boycott against ERMICO -
the owners of Thrasher Mag, Thunder, Inde-
pendent & Venture Trucks, because of their
unfair employment policies. But, the boycott
is over because the employees got their
union but I thought you snould know.

The head of my penis grows sticky with
sweat and pre -ejaculation as young nubiies
bare their bodies in ripped garments and
tight leather minis, Excited young faces
pouringwith sweat come out of the pit, while
those less hardy, hot and exhausted, lie
slumped on the floor, The smell of sensimilla
floats on the warm and humid, night air.
Standing around on frozen ashphalt has
become a distant memory. Ah yes, summer
is here once again for theConnecticut scene,

claim there Is no Connecticut scene, so
therefore they do nothing. (Maybe l‘m no

Rock’n’Roll Legends NOMEANSNO
have finally released there long awaited Sex
Mad album on Alternative Tenticles in the
J75~ and on Psyche Industries in Canada

Die hards may want to pick up both press-
ings for the extra song. And of course the
new record will send the band off on the
road, which they already have started doing.
So don’t miss out on a great band if they’re

out to infectlhe continent after the release of
their next record. They’re in the studio right
now brewing up another batch of bedtime
beer stories. Guitairist/ songwriter Cretin is
back with them on 3rd guitar and throat, so
their sound is pretty full. The everchanging
RED TIDE, after months in limbo, have
finally gotten it together with Tim (love ’em/
hate em) Crow on vocals and Paul (Eraser-
head) Wilkinson on somebody else s bass.
No tours have been planned yet, but they are

in a couple ofweeks with hopes that they will
find an interested label. Their latest tape,
Final Solution , is the best release to date;
Check eet out. _ ,

The irresistable RESISTANCE have re-
leased their first slab of vinyl; Raw Deal “7”.
At this very moment they are touring across
Canada and then plan to hit the States. They
would all love to see your smiling faces.
Resist them AaaaaaaaaJllllll! MISSION OF
C Hid ST are the newest band on the block,
and are hot. Formed from the ashes of the
NEOS, JERKWARD and SLUDGE CON-
FRONTATIONS a year and a half ago. They

play along the lines of C.O.C. , Slayer,
Metallica and have built a strong following
from steady in and out of town gigging. A
demo tape should be available, by the time
you read this, entitled Arise from Purgatory .
Send $5.00 to my address in care oi Steve
McBean. BED SPINS have a new drummer
and are playing around again. They have one
tape out, Lunchbox Factory . Their influ-
ences include Replacements, Soul Asylum,
Black Flag. Other bands that I don’t "know
much about or what they’re doing lately are
SECTION 46, NOISE GENERATION, BEIGE
FROTH & 5 ON A DATE All have decent
demo tapes out.

Our World is Victoria’s only fanzine;
number two should be out soon. Shows here
are quite frequent now with an all ages club
called the “Rats Nest" which is the basement
of Gaiy’s (RESISTANCE) house. Another
licensed club, Harpo’s, has opened it’s doors
to alot of great bands on “Alternative Mon-
days", sponsored by CFUV radio.

A successful snow at the “Roxy Cine-
gog" theatre with RED TIDE, DAT GLOW
ABbRTIONS and M.O.C has resulted in
future gigs there, which is great because it’s
kinda Hard to fit 350+ people in the Rats
Nest. Ifyou’d like any more info or numbers
and address just call or write.

YOUNG BLOOD

Windsor, Ont- Hardcore, Punk, or
whatever y ou will has been in this city of
200,000 for years, but I believe this is the
first scene report ever to be submitted. Since
we’re a stone’s throw from Detroit, we’ve
always been considered just a part of
Detroit’s scene. Well, things are changing,
the scene here is getting stronger, and we’re
slowly becoming independant.

Band-wise, weve got the legendaiy
FLESH COLUMNS still kicking. Back in ’84,
they released an EP with Touch and Go
records, broke up immediately afterwards,

and slowly regrouped with Doug Breault
being the only original member. Their tape
should be out by now, and they are indeed a
veiy proficient band and deserve everyone’s
ear. The outfit I do vocals for, YOUNG
BLOOD, has had its fair share of hard times.
We’re on our third guitarist and third bas-
sist, but things now seem like they’re for
good. We’ve only managed to play three
shows with the old lineup, and all were
miserable sets. We’ve changed, improved
10000% and are keeping our efforts hidden
until we’re confident with them. Anybody
withguts should flip and bust heads over the
stufiwe do! , , _

Another band is the recently formed
STRAIT JACKET. I haven’t heard them yet,
but they’ve described themselves as sound-
ing like the Strawdogs or an aggressive Van
Halen. Should no doubt be something
rather interesting. Other than that, we’ve got
a few ska outfits floating around, some
speedmetal efforts, and some pop punk
groups making music.

Myself and friend Trent Reeve put out
a fanzine called Sold Out . We’re currently on
our second issue and in my sincerely modest
opinion well worth the dollar postpaid. The
address is: Sold Out/946 Rankin /Windsor,
Ontario N9B 2S3/ Canada. I also put on
shows here. So far I’ve done SNFU, Problem
Children, Angry Red Planet, Victim’s Family
and I’ve got loads coming up. Any bands
interested in doing a show here, call or write
me. We pay well and we’ll make the effort
worthwhile, no lie.

Concerningairwaves, we’ve got some
neato stuff here. C)n University of Windsor
radio CJAM 91.5, we’ve got the “Imperfec-
tion Hours". They crank out the best in Oi/
punk/HC and can be tuned into on Sunday
nights. Following that, we’ve got “Shredding
Intensities". These cats send out the speedi-
est in metal.

It seems that a lot here rests on my
shoulders. It gets discouraging at times, but
I hang in there because its a labour of love.

I wish there were more people cared enough
to make an effort and contribute. I wonder
what would happen if I died? Who fucking
cares. But please: people, sends, zines,
collectors and artists Thorror) get in touch!

P.S.- Thanx to the people who have
stuck with the music through thick and
thin; you’re an inspiration ana keep things
going!

Toronto - Howdy! time again to fill y’all
in on the “scene" activity as ollate. Here we
go!

Venue-wise, things are looking pretty
healthy. Good ol’ Ilduko’s is still booking
hardcore and hopefully will continue to do
so. Let’s just hope the T.O. Scenesters will
conduct themselves sensibly and not get
hardcore shows taken away for the second
time. Since hardcore’s rebirth at Ildilko’s in
February, we’ve had some out of town shows
and plenty of local shows. Ildiko’s can be
reached at (4 16) 921-1 158. The Act Fallout
Shelter has had a few hardcore gigs and are
apparently into doing more in the future.
The only drawback is That the place is pretty
small. Gall ’em at (416) 960-2228. The El
Mocambo has also opened its doors to
hardcore recently but to consider this a
stable venue for hardcore is kinda naive. I

P ersonally can’t see it lasting too long. Lee’s
lace did some hardcore shows as well, but
future gigs there are uncertain. Finally,
there’s The good (?) ol’ Quoc-te, although I
sometimes wonder if it’s worth the effort to
play there. You decide!

Promoters to contact for lining up T.O.
gigs are Don LeBeuf of Reuben Kincade
Productions at (416) 842-3232, Jill Heath at
(4 16) 849-0244. Al Ridley from Fave Stooge
Productions at (416) 282-4458, and Tony
Meaney of Irk Productions at (416) 531-
4749.

Getting to the band action, HYPE have
recorded their second LP but no news as to
when to expect it on the shelves. The addi-
tion of Dave Barbisan on drums has really

LP should be a sheer burst of powerful

blazing away with their metal-tinged

hasn’t yet taken place. Both RANDOM

any T.O. gigs in a long time. For those into

"e, in the independant cooperative, keep or
fighting. Last year we did 3big festivals anc
now it’s getting difficult to findplaces to ren
ut we’re looking. Need leads you to actions,
so last week members of bands (CADAV-
ERES DE NINOS, ESTADO DE KALAM1DAD
PUBLICA and the cooperative) visited a
abandoned fricoriflc suitable for a squatted

place cuz a big bunch of about 50 soccer
team supporters were near the place and
they attacked us with no reason. Cadaveres
’e Nino’s drummer went to hospital for he
as hurt in the head.

GOOD NEWS! (Yes!) Steve Ignorant
[from Crass) visited Buenos Aires inMarch.
He is such a very nice person, he was in the
A narchist Library where we meet and there
e exchanged points of view about lots of
subjects, (our support to CONFLICT and
STEVE who are being charged by court
because of the problems with police after the
Brixton gig on 18/4.

The library opened their doors to us and

we had the place to meet, give speeches,
films etc. Next August there 11 be an expo
about Anarchist posters from everywhere,
maybe someone is interested in sending

something.

more important now.

Some people wrote to see if we were all
right during the recent military rebellion,
well, as you can see, we are still alive in spite
of the problems. Thanx for all the letters, for
all of you who fight for freedom, cuz you have
inspired us to build us this small put true

A FRENCH KISS

TO U.S. HARDCORE MOVEMENT!

Hellol The French situation changes
very quickly., and before our scene report
will be published in Max RnR, we have
already new situations herel Problems of
communication in this “modern" world!

So, in our last scene report, we talked
about AGRESSOR from Antibos. There is a
project of a single on “New Wave Records". It
will be the first speedmetal single here. We
have many hardrock and heavy metal
bands, but speedcore or speedmetal bands
are four or five only. France has a great
tradition of hard rock music. Do you remem-
ber VARIATIONS, FRENCHIES, TRUST,
SHARIN’ STREET, VULCA1N, etc...? Old
story, old musicl

Line-ups changes in different bands. In
KRULL, there is a new bassist, Frangois,
who plays also guitar in HEIMATLOS and...
MNZFllf DARK AGE changed its drummer.
LES CADAVRES search for a second guitar-
ist (perharps Foxy, ancient MNZF). VERDUN
has a new guitarist. FLITOX search for a

singer.

The best band of Bondage Rds, BERU-
RIER NOIR (and not BEURRIER NOIR or
BEURN1ER NOIR, as indicated in other is-
sues of MRR. BERURIER is a popular cop
who works with Inspector San Antonio,
popular novels here, not veiy good...) split in
june, because they have too much success
and rejected show business, bad money and
bad vibrations around them. Francois and
Loran, the two main members of B.N., prefer
to protect their independence. Perharps a
last gig this summer.

Labels.... 1984 The Third double LP
compilation on “NewWave Records" won’t be
out in May, but in September because holi-
days in France are terrific. Shops don’t work,
no distribution, it’s impossible to produce a
record during summer without problems.
So, we wait Tor this record at tne end of
August, with a single of ATAQUE FRONTAL
from Peru and AGRESSOR.

On Gougnaf Movement, the first LP of
LES RATS, powerful punk gang, with lyrics
of G.V.X. (lyric man of Parabelfum).

On Negativ Rds, project of new LP by
THE BRIGADES (from Paris, not Youth BJ.

For the autumn.

On the new V.I.S.A. label, a single of
DAZIBAO. dark punk with an arabic singer.
On Jungle Hop International, a sampler
single of Japanese hardcore bands will be out
on June.

On Panx Records, from Toulouse, proj-
ect of sampler LP for the end of 1987 It’s the
label of PIN PRICK. Do you know their
single? It’s great hardcore!

In Paris, we have new big problems with
places for gigs. Cithea rue Oberkampf closes
its doors because this place has been bought
by theater troupe. L.S.D. (“Le Sens du De-
voir”) stops its activities during summer
because there are some problems between
its directors. Our last gigs in this place were
Marie Kawazu on June 24th (Japanese per-
former), CLYSTERE on June loth (French
cold band) and GORE NIGHT on june 16th
(night of horror movies). And, finally, at the
end of May, police attacked a new squatt of
Montreuil, “Rockalusine”, during a punk
reggae gig. Some wounded kids, arrests,
etc... It’s very very hard to play in Paris when
you are not Michael Jackson or David
Bowie...

We have some places in suburbs, like
another “Rockalusine” in Pontoise, free gigs
in Conflans, “Fahrenheit” in Issy Les Moul-
ineaux, but the problem is in Pans. Landlord
Jacques Chirac, prime minister, wants to
destroy all alternative places in Paris. Our
position is to resist against his politics. We
want to live and to work in Paris, not to let

ty. So, we must impose our pk

activities, our music in our city and refuse to
be rejected far and far, in the suburbs. It’s a
great battle that begins. Some people among
punks are not convinced. But, if we donl
resist, soon, Paris will be a capitalist city and
all people will be rejected in bad suburbs,
with cops all around, like Brasilia in Brazil.
We refuse this situation.

So, with our radiostation Frequence
Alizes, we want to create a new alternative

S lace, in a popular district of Paris, “La
outte D’ Or , in the northeast. Gigs on radio
are overflowing because this place is little

— j come each week. So,

ng June and we search
find it, we can organize

reportl

We want also to tiy to create a coordina-
tion between different alternative associa-
tions. It’s very difficult because here, all
people are very individualist. It’s not good
because we cannot organize a strong move-
ment with fights between kids, perpetual
critics and never positive reaction. It’s an-
other difficult project.

It will be good if in France, we could
create an alternative movement with real
unity. A dream? wait and see... no, act and
seel

Gig for Jello Biafra is always a project.
No place...

So. It’s all lor today. Just a correction:
SPECIAL FORCES is on “New Wave Rec-

printed in Max RnR issue N Q 49. It’s just a

little error.

I can mention Over the Top’s brilliantly

BOYCOTT TOE RELIGIOUS RIGHT - BOYCOTT C00R3 BEER

Coor • Beer, subject of an attains nationwide boycott for 10 >ears, la
trying to break Into the metropolitan New York beer market, a market
which account* for 121 of the nation' a beer consumption. The Coora
•xpanalon la an attempt to offset the effect of the boycott which,

In Sen Franciaco, for example, has cut Coor'a aalea from 501 to Ul.

Long time supporter of right-wing causes, Coors has shown its atti-
tude towards workers by busting 19 unions at its Golden, Co., brewery.

Coors also volunteered its trucks to ship out grape* during the farm-
workers' boycott. It was among the first companies to impose polygraph
and drug teats on its employee *. 1

Coora haa long been active in national and international 'politics. A
major funder of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority and Phyllis Schlafly's
Eagle Forum, Coors helped found the right-wing Heritage Foundation 4 ia
one of the largest private supporters of the contras in Nicaragua. 1 Be-
sides being a trustee of the Heritage Foundation, Joseph Coors i 6 on the
board of regents of Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)

University, is on the board of governors of the Council for National
Policy (CNP) , and is a member of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellow-
ship International (FGBMFI). 2

All of these organisations and many more form a conservative coal-
ition that during the Reagan years has become known as the Religious
Right. If mobilize'd, the Religious Right could become a decisive
factor in primary elections which usually have a light turnout. Some
of the more aggressive conservative evangelists have pioneered in the
use of modern mass communication to fulfill their "Great Commission,"
to preach the gospel before Jesus returns. They are mobilizing for
political activism around well-defined positions: opposition to abor-
tion rights, agitation against 'humanist' thought in education, pro-
motion of the am* race 4 support for U.S. administration counterin-
4 urgency programs abroad. Many believe in submission and obedience to

authority. 3 . -

Some 600,000 men belong to Full Gospel, including a large number of
military men: "Many are ex-officers. .4 many, like Sanford McDonnell,
chairman of McDonnell Douglas Corp., (a major defense contractor) help
control the high-tech military industries that build the strategic ar-
senal 'of the U.S. Few have any fear of nuclear war. Many believe they
will be raptured (saved) before war breaks out.. A recent FGBMFI pam-
phlet (1966) outlines the scope of influence the Full Gospel organiza-
tion enjoy* in Reagan's Washington:

The 'Secretary of Defense who built us 2 prayer rooms in the Pen-
tagon; Lt. Cen. Dick Shaefer, Col. Speed Wilson, Col. Hank Lackey;

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Commandant of the Marine

Jerry Curry, Col. Andy Anderson; the Chief of Staff of the Army; the
Chief of Staff of the Air Force; Sgt. MaJ. Bud Haim 1> 1st Lt. Dav-
id Naira, Brig. Gen. Charles Duke., the lists of military men 4 wo-.

‘ men who have been vitally affected by these Military Prayer Break-
fasts go on 4 ca."2

"General Rios Kontt, who became president of Guatemala in an army
coup, is a member of a Pentecostal church 4 was aided 4 supported by
Full’cospel businessmen like John Carrette , a former Army Ranger in
Vietnam. According to Carrette, the current presidents of Guatemala,
d Salvador 4 Honduras are all Full Gospel. Rios Montt, after he was
deposed from the presidency ia another coup, toured the U.S. . speaking

to Pentecostal 4 charismatic audiences. The former military dictator

addressed the FGBMFI world convention in I 98 U ." 2

"Chairman of Friends of America, former Louisiana state legislator
Woody Jenkins, maintains extensive ties to the Christian Right through
hi* position ss Executive Director of the Council for Rational Policy
(CNP). The CNP Board of Governors includes (retired) Gen. John 8 ing-
laub, Oliver North, Pat Robertson (current CHP president ),. .Joseph
Coors 4 over 300 others. Recent articles linked Woody Jenkins direct-
ly to private 4 CIA aid to the Honduran-based contras 4 MISURA, a contra
organization of Miakito Indian*.. A Special Edition of the Friend* re-
port of January, 1986, list* FOA operation* in Honduras, Mexico, Guat-
emala, Costa Rica, Columbia 4 El Salvador. "5

"Conservative evangelicals became major players in the political,
arena when their champion, Ronald Reagan, was elected President in 1980.
The political action groups behind Reagan, like Falwell's Moral Majori-
ty, California-based Christian Voice, 4 Tim Lallaye's American Coalition
for Traditional Values (ACTV), organized many independent fundamentalist
4. Pentecostal churches across the country into effective voting bloc*.

In 198l<, thanks to their efforts, Reagan won about 80f of what had be-
come a white evangelical voting bloc. 1 * With the goal, as Robertson has
said, of winning 'the battle for souls taking place in government,'

(the Christian Right has run) voter registration drives in churches
throughout the country 4 trained conservative evangelicals, mostly
Republicans, to run for local, state 4 federal elective offices."**

"War with the Evil Empire, globally or regionally in places like
Central America, seems logical 4 even Inevitable to (the Religious
Right) dualist mentality. REALPOLITIJC for them can become an acting
out of a cosmic battle between symbolic entities, the Evil Qapire
4 godly America. ..Whether Robertson, who has been 'praying' about
running for president, can actually get the Republican nomination may
not be as important in the long run as the success of evangelical
organizations 4 individuals in local 4 regional politics."**

It is financers like Coors that enable the Religious Right to
make such a major impact on U.S. elections. CBN, the Uth largest
television network in the U.S., gathered $230 million in 1985*
however, according to the network's public affairs director, the
money came largely from "sympathetic corporations" and not from
viewers. 1 * By Ellen, Red Table Prints

gigs in the UK.. Europe and in 1986 he completed his
[ debut U.S. Touf - accompanied by U.K. band
Instigators and U.S. band Detonators. Definite plans
have already been made for a return visit to the U.S.
and a first visit to Canada this summer. He has written

[ Britanarchists - two tracks with music by
skinhead/punks Buriat, two tracks by reggae/ska
band Spectre and lytics/vocais on all four tracks by
Nick Toczek. Various contributions have also been
[ included on numerous sampler cassettes and discs.

He currently organizes and co-comperes along with

I alternative cabefet Club. 'Stereo Graffiti' in Bradford
and runs 'Twisted Pleasures Drastic Measures

The following extracts are taken from an
I interview by Andy Chapman of Tender Mercy 'zine
With Nick Toczek at bis Bradford home.

MRR: Do you adhere to any specific political (
philosophy?

NT; Broadly, I'm an anarchist but I'm not someon^l
[ who thinks of anarchist organisations as something $$1
I Join, I'm an anarchonndividualist - that is. I think I
| everybody ought to think for themselves. I'm I
opposed to organisations per se, as organisations 1
depend an people and people shouldn't depend j
Ion organisations. I choose not to vote because ll
don't believe in showing my support to people I hove I
[ no faith in and don't respect. I'm a revolutionist and f
I not a revolutionary os revolutionaries see revolution j
I as a means to an end. The idea of reaching a j
plateau or the end of one s struggle is abhorrent to j
me. The fun is the struggle as change is stimulating. 1
I MRR: You hove been described as "The grandad of j
[ rant/ Do you accept this?

I NT: Nahli! IV© been working as a performance poet I
since the late sixties but I've been influenced by the j
| ranters because they've kicked some life back into I
[ poetry. The ranters have helped to create a general J
I awareness * in many ways they've recaptured I
I Shakespeare's panoramic view of life which went |
| from literature by Victorian times, when poetry |
I moved Into drawing rooms. Although some poetry J
I did remain in the music halls, it was nan-inteilectuai I
I and contrived, evolving into crap bigoted humour, f
[Any dignity and self-respect in standing on Stage 1
I and producing words died long before arsehotes Kk© I

Davidson appeared. Davidson talks of "my mate
Chalkie" - his mate Chalkie doesn't exist. He's a lie to
make people think that Jim Davidson is a nice bloke
and isn't a racist. No black mate would tolerate
being made a laughing stock by shit like him.
Davidson is a drunk, racist, sexist bastard!

MRR: Whore do you draw a line between conveying
a message and entertainment?

NT: I happen to entertain at times but it's not my
prime aim as I work as a performer and not an
entertainer. A performer stimulates but he or she
aims for a reaction as opposed to being liked by a
majority of the audience. I don't think it's because I'm
boring but because of what I say politically - I
deliberately say stuff that's controversial in terms of
the audience that I'm performing to. My priority is not
so much to convey the messaage as to make
people fashion their own values, but I don't want
them to agree with all that I've said. I would prefer
someone to join the National Front than they stay
sitting on the fence. It's not that I agree wtih the
National Front but it's better that they actually think
and reach a definite decision than they say Tm not
interested in politics". While there are two people
alive on this planet politics will exist - it's part of living
as everything is political.

MRR: Although your material is humorous, it does
appear negative; does your work contain any
hope?

NT: No! Abandon all hope ye who enter here... yeah,
of course there is! The main reason the stuff is j
negative is because I aon't offer solutions because j
I'm not after preaching my own politics. I hope this J
interview doesn't come across os an anarchist I
diatribe because that's not what fm aiming for, t want I
people to think, may be if l offer something negative I

then there must be something good.

MRR: But isn’t it all to easy to criticise?

NT: The time when I write is usually when I'm on my
own or feeling low so what's written down does tend
to be negative. The other side is when I write a
political piece - politics is about changing what you
believe to be wrong. I can't imagine getting up on
stage and saying "There's too much fucking
happiness in this world, let's get miserable". I'm not
going to write about happiness as I don't think it
needs to be written about as it's something you
enjoy and don't need to read about. Certainly I use
humour but the subjects I complain about involve
uneccessary suffering and I hope that what I write will
bring about change... I hate this stuff in fanzines
where you get pictures of nice baby seals being
clubbed to death - I'm not saying it's right or it doesn't
happen, but do we only save the cute looking pretty
animals? An atrocity is an atrocity. There are many
ways of approaching problems like that where very
little imagination or novelty is used. If something
demands your attention and if you can t express that
when you're telling others why you believe it's an
issue then shut-up! People numb eventually if you
give the same picture Mgains^nd aaain.

MRR: Yeah, I feet the same can be applied to C.N.D.

government would be insensed? Why isn't C.N.D,
infinitely involved in America? Why isn't it more
violent like A.L.F. in this country? Why isn't it realty
active in Russia? It’s because the government will
say that C.N.D. is infiltrated by the left - which is so
much bullshit! What's held C.N.D. back is because
it's been infiltrated by both the right and the middle,

It's also been infiltrated by people who think that
putting on a C.N.D. badge means you don't have to
do anything. The C.N.D. badge ought to be put on
every weapon in the world because the weapons
wouldn't be there if it wasn't for that badge -
something would have been done! C.N.D. owes the
world a fucking huge apology! It has failed so totalty
and is to blame for its own failure. It should be political
and should have been infiltrated by every extremist
left group possible. But it hasn't!

It’s been infiltrated by every moderate group
possible and it fucking sti nks !!!!!!!!! M ! IM tl I It U M M H t
MRR: With reference to the cut-up* on *jde
two of Ulterior Motives cassette tP, wilt
there be more experimentation With your
work?

NT: No. Cut-ups are something I play about with
occasionally. Having said that I'm putting together a
book called The Meat Boutique" which will consist of
half performance pieces and half cut-ups. But the
cut-ups are a different type as they're juet bits
taken from pre-printed material - I’ve cut-up one
issue of the Daily Express, I've taken enteries from
the Telephone Directory, a card from Trivial
Pursuit, all sorts. Walking through a subway in
Bradford I found a piece of paper which was used to
wrap up bricks - it was the operating instructions
for Armitage Bricks which was a huge page fuii of
information on how to operate a brick. So Tve taken
that and put the heading "Could You Operate A
Brick...?"

MRR: Which of the various media you use, do
you find the most sti mutating end
rewarding.

NT: It’s glib to say but the newest - trying something
new is always great and I wish I could go back to the
first time I went into the recording studio and enjoy
it as much as I did then. The new always stimulates!

MRR: Why should people listen to Nick
Toczek?

NT: Because I don’t give them much choice! No mors
reason that they listen to me than anyone else. I get
up and do it and if they think there's no good reason :
for listening to me then I hope they get up and say it j
; themselves...

Three large-scale poetry events in April 198$
were organised by Nick Toczek in Dutfey, Manchester
and Bradford. These featured twenty- two leading
performer- poets resident in the U/C, outside
London. The three events were video'd and sound
recorded and the results - all under the tide °Mouth

Hello and greetings from Yakima, Washington.
We re ANIMAL CLINIC and we felt it our duty to
appear in this fine magazine due to thousands of fan
letters we've received from the likes of the PMRC,
P.W. Botha, and the Pope; thanks for your support
and inspiration. We were interviewed May 10, '87.
MRR: How about a brief history of the band.

AN: We formed in Jan '87 with “Honest'' Abe Normal
on vocals, Joe the Jerk on guitar, Ace Clarkster on
bass and Limpy Penis shake dude on drums. We're
all 17 years old. Since our formation we've only
played once; at a school sponsored dance. I think
the sponsors were expecting a Top 40 or new wave
r band; boy were they surprised. The parents and
police watched in awe. The longer we played the
less they liked us. So we decided to liven things up
with a toe tapping crowd pleaser so we did a cover
I of DOA's "Let's Fuck". I guess they didn't like it much
because the assholes (cops) threatened to close
the place down if we didn't stop playing. We've now
been blacklisted and haven't played since.

MRR: What are some of your influences?

I An: DK's, Subhumans, MDC, Fartz, early Suicidal
Tendencies...

L: MIA, JFA, Soul Asylum. DOA, Bad Brains...

Ac: Killer Lords, Ramones, Damned, U2...

J: Husker Du, REM, Velvet Underground, Blind Faith,

Clones.

MRR: What do you think about the current state of
music?

| AN: It's pathetic, top 40 bullshit and heavy metal is a
bunch of spineless puke that preaches mindless
conformism and macho sexism. Spaed metal isn’t
any better. It's really disheartening to see good
bands drop their thinking beliefs and ideals for lyrics
I about skateboarding or Satan. These bands are just
I jumping the trendy bandwagon to make some easy
money less the burden of actually having to think or
| take stands.

I MRR: What does this say for America s youth?

AN: They're basically a bunch of trend hungry
morons who want desperately to be in the “in crowd"
and if you stray from the restrictive norm then you're
considered "weird" or "stupid". All this is brought on

by what I call the ’anti-thought' i.e. "Reagan, CIA,
televangelists, textbooks," that perpetrate Rambo
mentality and enforce mandatory apathy,
ignorance and approval; "hate anyone that's
different i.e. commies, atheists, gays etc." or "don't
ask questions, we ll take care of everything. Uncle
Scam's never wrong".

MRR: What are your future goals?

AN: We desperately would like to play your town and
maybe get some label interest or appear on a
compilation. We also hope to make the PMRC
library of family music. We re also organizing a big
"No More Censorship Defense Fund" benefit
sometime this summer, and we would love to have
some out-of-town bands play if you're interested
write or call at the number below.

MRR: Anything in closing?

AN: I think Jello said it best; Punk ain't no religious cult.
Punk means thinking for yourself, you aren't hardcore
'cause you spike your hair when a jock still lives inside
your head, and remember no one starves in
America!

AC: Vote for the New Church!

L: Tipper Gore is having my baby.

J: Ollio North is- a "great American' and God
threatened to make me sterile if I don't raise $6 million
bucks by July.

AN: To book ANIMAL CLINIC in your town, to pier/ at
the benefit or just tc correspond call me, Abe
Normal, at (509) 965-3830 or write to: 531 3 Webster Ct/
Yakima, WA 98908. Thanks. m A

FINL

S.D.I. band members are Jim Holden - guitar;

Tim O'Donell - drums; Mike Riggs - bass; John Arispe * j
- vocals. *v«*

Society Defeated by Ignorance got started
around a year and a half ago. The first two members
that started it were Tim O'Donell and Jim Holden. We
all basically share the same interests in music and
our fa vo rite hands . ,

We really don't have any influences because
our music is original. Our favorite bands are R.K.L.,
Dayglo Abortions. Doggy Style, the Void, and Slayer.

Our main message is that people need to become
more aware of the problems that others face around
the globe every day. Examples would be racism,
poverty, nuclear arms, war and violence. And not
just to sit around and let these things happen, to
make a stand for something and attempt change in
the positive direction. We have played benefit
shows in the past and we took forward to more in the
future.

We don't have a demo out yet because we
are all short on cash. The Riverside and Inland Valley
scene has lots of good underground talent. We like
to play parties with the other bands like Liberation
Crutch, Stand to Correction. Twisted, P.O.W.,
Malicious Intent and many others.

HIIMWIHHMH WIH MBBWPOOflfilPOniMlIPDOflB

We have a 12 song set that lasts about 30
minutes and we are working on other songs at the
moment. We re not a straight edge band, we all like
to have a good time and get loose. Labeling
yourself as anything will just restrict your freedom to
do what you want, when you want, and how you
want to. "And that goes for anything". We got the
name S.D.I. from the Star Wars Program also known
as th e Strategic Defen^ lniticrffye. ,

This system will place multi-milllion dollar
advanced toasters in space, that will supposedly
make an attempt to destroy incoming missiles from
the U.S.S.R.

That network of computers would have to
function without a mistake, knock out the majority of
incoming missiles (and it only takes about 3% to get
through to do enough destruction to ruin your day)
and be on alert 24 hours a day 7 days a week. "They
f defensive , but it's really offensive^

Friends are important to us too, if it wasn't for
them we would be together and the scene would be
just that much smaller. "I would like to thank all of our
friends, they know who they are". And thanks for the
interview. Think posit ive !

Interview by Risto Eronen

“They sound like Finland's STUPIDSs," wrote
one rock-reporter, when her heard IRSTAS
(Libertines) for the first time. I think that
forementioned metaphor fits them very well,
because the music of IRSTAS is very fast, loud and
powerful. This great band is from Oulu, which is a big
town in Northern Finland.

MRR: Why and when did you get started?

I: We started to play at Christmas '82, because pure
listening of music wasn't enough for us.

MRR: The current line-up and ages?

I: Well, there are Jone (16) - guitar & screams, Pena
(1 7) - bass, and Tomppa (16) - drums.

MRR: Who makes the songs and what are they
telling about?

I: Most of the songs are made by Jone, but also the
other guys have made a few songs. The songs are
telling about war, violence, cops, death etc...

MRR: What does punk signify to you?

I: Punk means for us violent (no violence!) and own-
conditional music, independent underground
(=punx have own zines, record and cassette labels,
numerous distribution channels, etc.), tots of good
friends, co-operation, honesty and above all
freedom!!

MRR: Opinions about peace movement, army and
vivisection?

I: We think that the peace movement is a great thing,
because it has the right principles and targets. We
also appreciate Amnesty International, though it
should include ail of the opinion-prisoners and
refusers of the civilian service. The army in Finland is
totally useless. It has no meaning in case of big
misfortune (catastrophe). Were all against
vivisection, because it is cruel, useless and without
results. Also, the tests take a tot of time and money.
Investigators should move to another method when
they are examining diseases.

MRR: Any plans for the future?! : We got a new

practice place in March, so we will practice very
diligently. We are on a 6-band comp EP, which will
be out by the time you read this. Also, we would like
to do our own EP. if we get someone to put it out (are
there any interested people to do it??).

MRR: Message to punx all around the world?

I: Let's unite!! Don't let the distances discourage you;
make contacts with writing!!

SPAIN

MRR: Who are you guys and why did you start as
RUIDO DE RABIA?

RDR: We re: Santi (lead vocals), Jorge (bass),
Lamberto (guitar), and Jose (drums & vocals); and
with the band we re trying to get a way where we can
express and vent our ideas. Besides this, we have all
been in other bands, Santi and Lamberto used to J
play in TORTURA SISTEMATICA, Jorge plays in
another band called BUKAERA, and Jose used to
sing in AUTODEFENSA and plays drums in EIZEN.

MRR: Which impression have you got from your split
LP with the band ULTIMO GOBIERNO?

RDR: The recording isn't what we would have wanted
to be like, but at least it's got strength and speed. The
sound is acceptable enough for a band such as us.
But it cannot capture the thing and happiness of
playing alive, we re a stage band, not a vinyl one.

MRR: Have you had any problem with the LP until you
had it out?

RDR: Yeah, first of all it was the money thing, as we
got ruined and had to ask a bank for a loan, and last
but not least, the legal stuff to make rt and to have it
released out, all these papers to fill in... _

MRR: What do you feel when you go up on stage
and play such a noisy and fast music?

RDR: Before going up. a bt of nervousness, but once
you're up, you forget everything and go straight into
your songs, and if the crowd reacts or likes them, we
make them enjoy with it and we all have a very nice
time.

MRR: Which bands do you feel influenced by?

RDR: Just to mention some we could say we feel very
directly influenced by Stark Raving Mad, Battalion of
Saints, Larm, Concrete Sox. Gore, SPK, Terveet
Kadet, Septic Death, Funeral Oratbn, and endless
range of bands, at least if we mention all of them.

MRR: Good music or good lyrics?

RDR: Both things, since both of them are very close
to each other.

MRR: How do you label your music and why?

RDR: We don't label our music in any definite style,
since we feel opened to all the styles which attract us
and revert into our music, because so we can feel or
with all our tracks and this totally influences our
mood.

MRR: Are you vegetarians?

RDR: No, we aren't vegetarians, except Santi.

I accuse you torturers
I accuse you murderers
I accused you servants of your foolish greedy
Ascended your thrones of bold and honours
Creating your empire over crime
Keeping on your privileged class status
With repression

I don't believe in your freedom
Nor in your perfect systems
That's why I accuse you and will do up to your end

1 Don' t A ccept

I don't accept your power because
it denies the right to a free life
It doesn't respect neither animals nor men
It destroys the nature which I'm a part from
I don't accept your power because
I don't accept servitude
Accepting your power means to
accept my inferiority
I'm able to self-manage my life.

I don't accept your power because I only live to die
in your absurd wars and you feel like gods so

MRR: Anything else to say?

RDR: Yeah, for any info, contact, gigs or just
exchange ideas, write to RUIDO DE RABIA/ PO Box
168/ P. San Pedro/ Guipuzcoa/ Spain. For Ruido de
Rabia and Ultimo Gobierno's split LP, cost (post paid)
$8 for USA, £5 for Europe, and it's got 30 tracks which
once you've listened to won't let you stop from
slamming with your parents and relations for a lot of
days!!! And for the last demo of Ruido de Rabia.
send a blank tape an 2 IRC's, ok!!

You won't be able to drown freedom

Intorviowod by Lawrence Livermore

As tong as therefore bands like ISOCRACY (the
nametefers to the ideal of a government of equals), it’ll
be impossible for me fa get too cynical about ‘the
scene. ‘ My own band has had the privilege of sharing
a stage with those guys several times,. g$d I've watched
them develop, in an amazingly short from tcngfiMi r

tied, stage -frightened, semi-p e trifleditkkinto the clown
fences of the :: 0fi Francisco Bay Area underground.

Needless to say, I love these guys, but doing this
interview turned out to be a more emotional
Wcperience than I expect^^^Yyhen I first approached^.-,.,
them about ifflhey said sute. A but insisted that I do it on ;
their home turfth working cia$$%burb of^k^FranciscoWi

Though it's 1&tt than 20 miles from San Francisco. El
Sobranf£ :: &$a$$ther world, xfad it immediately brought
back gut-wrenching memdiries of the tacky Detroit :;;! |
suburb where I grew up.

■ That was one intense moment^the next, more
rewarding one ptiime later in the interview as I listened*?
to the idealistic dreams and visions thQthod managed
to spring up in tfww guys despite the. Pap ut it politely,
hellish environmeWihey'd come out of. There may not
be a whole lot of hope for humgnity. but at least there's
ISOCRACY.

Anp|. then we gal booked at the Gilman
Wptfpriouse for th^i; first time and all we had wayg
w&e|& notice. so I called up Jason and 6£mbu.-:
“Gimmickfest." and Jason said. "Yeah, let's do it." and .
Lenny had a fit.

L: I didn't like the idea pfctbe whole "Gimmickfest" at first.

A: Till Tim Yohannan sdid, 'Wow. what.jp/great idea,"
and thanked Lenny.

. L: , No , he didn't say that at all...

. A; Yeah, he did. he came up to you -Sffer the show
and.

L: Let s not fight.

MRR: So do you feel that the^comedy and the
gimmicks take away from what :l ^te music's trying to
communicate?

L: Yeah. I do. But not enough to really matter. I think
people come more or less to see us for our shq.vy* but
like I said, we are getting better musically. Peoptebdve
been complimenting us latefpiPr our music instead of
just our stage-show.

A: It sort of divides the people who just look at a band
and say. "Oh well, that's they're doing$|fpm the
people who really scrutjpfe© -:\What a barid^ doing on
j l ye. been approbtej^d after shows dbd' people
said. Oh wow. we came in. we thought y6u were a
joke band with all those props and the funny costumes
and everything, but then we listened to the music, it turns
out you guys are i^opus. Well, wfjigf is it?" they're always
askjngus. Well, i&bfcth. Our lyrk?s:ane extremely serious.

M : "ilHirne of t hb^£f

A: Most of our lyrics are extremely serious. We do.riave
funny lyrics, though, about leaky undergarments arid
things like that. But the stage sb||W is just becau^^fc^
seen bands that are very poirttedignd very serioii^and
very goqdpfcyt who just borg ttre hell out of you on
stage. So fry to combine th^two, try to combine a
real fun atmosphere with a very serious. . .

J: Fun. Jumpy. Happy.

MRR: You seem to hqve caught on to something,
becaus# you've be#** . gfetting a lot of attention from
some Of trie more inrtyfritfal members of .^.punk rock

J: I think it all comes out of ignorance.

MRR: You think they're ignorant?

J: No. we re ignorant.

A: No one could believe thcHftfte first punk show that W
and Jasqnteyer went to was last August (86).

J: I don't even... I think I have maybe 5 punk rbbti
records...

MRR: Then let me throw this o^j^pu... I dont think of
ISOCRACY so much as a pmk band. I think it's
something a little%t beyond whaf We traditionally thjnk
of as punk, tri^ugh tf draws on punk for its energy and a
lot of its political kteas. How do you feel aboutvjri.at?
Do you think of yd&fselves as punk rockers?

L: you shut up.

Mw^pparontly you don't all agree...

J: We are the scene.

L: One thing is. your© -dealing with four members who
have a mixture of tfpfatons on almost everything. I
consid&t; myself a v duhlk rocker." I consider us a punk
band, W©'re just more lively now. and most of that is
due’fipPlt, who came up with most of th© paginal ideas,
and he gets most of the junk. . .

MRR: Your clothes are a little more diverse than
traditional punk rock... More like out of dumpsters and
Salvation Army rejiipts. You seem to clothe and
surround yourself wJtfcs*;k>t of the refuse and c<$$jbffs of
the American dridp... mayb#-$ie darker^)? less

A. We take whatever we can find/dW-ially...

MRR: There's a fancy term for that, called "found art."

L: It's depressing to a point. As fd&Ss'our own persgTVgyi
lives go. I don't think we re depressed about howwfe §
are right now. but as far as the wider scale of things,
yeah, it does get depressing when you think about it}\(
and it doesn't look 1 1®©- there'll be any dramastic
change...

J; Dramastic?

*' : WRR: Good word...

J: That's El Sobrante...

MRR: So d$^ii look at youfii&lves as just singing and

have a chan<*§-£f staving off what you see cpmfrtg?

M: Hopefulty people will see. jibe lyrics...

J: Nobody can understand Ttilljin^anyway...

M: Most people who get into piuhk rock, they might see
the lyrics and say. "Hey, that's kind of neat," and get into
...itfiom there. anULtfKit's kind of what we re trying to do. . . f
A; Yeah, you cdn *it there and be depressed and say,

^ Ohhh. the worlds going to hell and everything's going to
explode and w$Ye all going tq\$jfig-'-and everypgp's
starving to death anyway... I guetebVeryone's goftmSir
own opinion about this, but I guess as tong as you're
I doing something about it, as long as you're not just
sitting on your assbilhg depressed, and you've just got
to keep a smile oh your face. I guess that helps keep
things going... I think®* the ISOCR$3$.stage show isn't
going to change the world...

MRR: Well that wa* my next questi<^;dt:tually; do you
j see fun as almost a revolutionary weapon?

! J: I thinke r's a big guffav&ffvlhe face of people who oto.

_ serioui OB day tong, you know, they're so set in thetr
wayi/dt*3 if they see something different, that's out of
what they're used to. they think thtfj&sick...

r v •.

L: I think f^vshow could change a lot of people's minds
about certain things, about hp^^&y took at oilier
people... For instance, at our least show, Al and Martin
wore their prom tuxedo outfits. wtflch were like these
plaid 1970$ pants and really bright clothes, and we got
up there and did our stuff and they don't dress like that
no rmally. . .

J: Yes they do... |||| |i|

L: And people just took at l^piiQlferently...

MRR: I guess what I'm thinking is that if people^ are
having fun t*hd dancing and laughing, they're a lot less
likely to be d&ihg the kind of stuff that makes the world a
rottener place...

J: I feel that if we get even a few peopU* ; to think about

happonibfc around them/:

MRRt Ok, one of the things that's most inspiring;^ me,
and some other people have said this to mlipoo, is
that you guys have come out of a not particularly
pleasant or inspiring environment, and yet of all the punk
or underground bonds these day#, you're probably
among the least bitter and def^pl.W and the most
positive and crsiiiffive. I'm not tdfjtfng about sermons,
like, "Think Positive, dude^raight i&g©.' but rather a
todf boalthy, life-affirming, *Hey we're alive, let's mak£ ;
the best of it." I want to tartt a little bit about where yds*
came from. The words that kept popping into my heel#
bas.you took me on a tour were "white trash"...

Ji Right. Ybugatit.

-rub

KQB

rf.0^

6.1 Sow

A:; Y*^. there is white trash in El Sobranteri've “bought
re<to*dswhere the bands sing about rednecks, and yes,
there are stereotypical rednecks in El Sobrante. There's
the pickup truck.with the cowbell and the cowhoms on
the hood with th© Confederate flag in the license plate
holder, and tftefc© people are here, they're flamboyant,
above-ground ftere-we-are-redneck people, and
they're obviouspj&norant. but there die a lot of other
people who you wouldn't think were ignorant but who...
are. Like a tot of kids at my.j^h school, who are tike r,
“Wet.re going to college ahfd-We're going to change |

. .fhe world; if you just talk to them for a white, it's "niggiifc*''
and "nigger-that;" so you don't have to look
i$j*&rant to fete ignorant, and on the flipside of that, you
don't have %bd%punk" to have good ideas...

L: Yeah. I wdi^ust about t$,$^hat I've met a^||j
people who were "punk rock* V/ho were the 'S&m*
way... ' *

MRR: You mean racist or ignbrant?

L: Yeah, racist and ignorant...

A: Extremely.

L: And I gi^. it's not how you look, it's just.trow you are,
because f ^b^pen to know a lot of whqft t would call
rednecks, Wtofr/fbally bok^^dnecks. bMt - they're not.
Because I've iived in this town fOrso longfhcft t&now a bt
of people in it. I know a bf of rednecks b^^fii I used to
be associated with them...

J: .You are a redneck.

• tr A bt of them aren't ignorant, well, maybe in their own
V Wdfc but not racist, and they do*# go around saying.
l^h-Tet's go kill that faggot" or Vyfxat have you; they're
actually pretty calm and plad&dhd nice people.

MRR: This to##. is technically a suburb of Sarv&pncisco,
but it seems really far removed...

J: Separc^^ft^Y mountains...

MRR: Th# ; fculture here doesn’t seem ifS^get very
influenced by what goes on in San Francisco...

A: There's kids I know who I grew up who've never
been to San j-rancisco... They'd never go because
they're $cq#0Ph yeah they might get AIDS... That's an*''
extreme base, but tbere are people who think that
way... There are people «>© farthest they've been

out of town is to go tpBeryessa (a ftg&fby Jdfc*) to go
.;!^ater skiing...

, ij A big joke to ttterfh was wfcpn we had 0 speaker
■fecame to our high school to talk about AIDSand things

A: Yeah. gee. I can count on two hands the amount of
times I got chased by vehicles white on foot or on a
skateboard. Jp^had lots of thing* thrown at me. I
mean this is Wb* 1987, and people Ore still throwing
things at me, cofftog me tweak or freak, or trying to run
me over. I've talked to people who've been in the
punk scene for a white, and they say, "Oh yeqh* that
used to happen to me years ago, but not

anymore," but it still happens

MRR: But you don't even look like stereotype punks...
Except for Lenny, of course...

L: Yeah, I am the.s.upreme punk rock stereotype
A I don't really .toofclfcat bad, it's just that peopte. ..

MRR: I didn't say Ohylhfog about bad, just that you don't
. : .bok like a typical punk looker..

Ai People will attack you Jtftf ft* speaking out agtfm*
something you don't like .

fiiRR: So three of you still go to stthOOL. In fact, I should
have gotten ypur ages... Al, you're Yft

MRR: How many fckfr are there at school that you can
reasonably get along with?

J: Well, I iljiiitend in really v#K .. 4

L: I blend to, too, cause I know a tot of people.

MRR: So Aftfcfr® only outcast?

M: It wa* : imy experience at::*ph6ol that the/ few
supposed “punk rockers" got along really well with the
jock % At a tot of schools thcft^daesn't happen*

L: Alto, the metalheq^xOr?d : the punks seemio-
dtetfg pretty well, too, ..because even though'-" : ih?:jii:;
Sobrante m^talheads seem to havetf$te same type of
opinions dptednecks, they don't consider themselves
as rednecks. And also because there aren't very many
of them, they have some gy.he same kind ^problems
that we do... KIR#

...j^RR: You've made a cOr»ftteiable impact in dsftbff
time on the San Francisco/Berkeley scene. Have you

had mn/>K ellarl in PI Snhrnnta?

A. We've never played in El Sobrante.

J: People say, oh yeah£fS0CRACY, cool, dud*, -feut
nobody ever goes to crttf shows. They thirik punk
rockers are guys with big^pfeed hair and they beat you
up. you know, if you're not wearing the right clothes
they're going to beat you up and kick you out.

L: Among our closer friends at school* maybe...
One thing that u to really bug me k that people
would say, "Oh you go out there and hong Out with all
those Berkeley freaks’" and I'd say, well yeah. I consider
myself to be one of those Berkeley freaks. People out
hpr^plon't really give people a chance. Som&$$|,
fttem accept me because tbey know me, and I'd say,
wHy #©n't you give some pf these people a chah$£;'
arid sometimes they'd say, yea'h you’re nght...

A: Lenny gets a tot of flak from people just for hanging
out with me...

MRR: So it sounds like you've still ways to go in
your own home town...

& We're ai going to move out before too long*

MRR: You'll Ipi your gimmick... But I'd like to iknow if
you have anything recorded, or are planning to
record?

A: We've got a tot of st.^fpn tape, but nothk^.it^te^jed.

A; One of our bSft Shows- wqf^he free show at Sprout

ssu* si

Well, 1*111 sitting here trying to
figure out what to say about myself
and No Loitering. It's easy to talk
about others but... First 1*11 give
you a little background. It's 1983
and I was but a wee youngster going
to my first show. We all remember
that excited, queasy feeling in your
stomach, wondering what it will be
like. Next thing I knew I was cutting
pictures from a magazine, gluing them
on other pictures, and up to my neck
in little pieces of paper, and smaller
pieces, and smaller...

The first issue of No Loitering
was probably the worst thingever
slapped on a xerox machine. Bad humor
and even worse cartoons. Needless
to say #1 is no longer available.

Numbah 2 had an interview with
Crucifix, our first big band interview.
The zine was starting to look better
but it was still an excuse to draw
punk rock skulls (hey, that*? what
punk rock is all about, right?). There
is also probably no way you could scam
one of these.

All this time I was working with two
other friends on this thing but times
do change and people along with them.

We went our seperate ways and No Loit-
ering went into hibernation.

us up to the present.

Wim»,

I've grown and matured and of course
so has N.L. I'm now on #6 and feeling
better about myself and the zine than
ever before. The bands interviewed
and values/opinions expressed within
No Loitering are indicative of the
things I enjoy and beliefs I hold true.
Why print something you don't believe
in, and with the exception of occasional
I short periods of self-doubt, I believe
I in myself, and No Loitering. So many
new friendships, thoughts, and ideas
have come to me through the zine. That's
what makes it all worth it. That's what
it' 8 all about. i

Number 6 is out now. The format has
changed to 8 1/2 X 11 and is now offset
printed. It has interviews with 7 Seconds
Uniform Choice, Verbal Assault, and Half
| Off, and is $1.25ppd. Try to include a
letter, tell me about yourself, your
scene, anything, just communicate.

#5 PREMATIIRF WHS.

Would it not be nice? To wake up every morning, opening the
shutters, unlatching the window pushing it wide open, listening to the
beautilui song sung by a mockingbird, breathing in deep the sweet smell
o* the flowers perfume m the air, smiling with such happiness!

But then you sigh, frowning in disgust at the world’s ideological
ianaticism obstructing your freedom and very life and future here on
Earth!

The World Anti-Communist League, as you shall soon read, is
indeed a horrid world of ideological fanaticism; Nazis, Assassins. Terror-
ists. Anti-Semites, Militarists, Latin American Death Squads, Narcotics
traffickers, Gun runners, CIA. Rightwingers, and much more.

To understand and to be aware of the contents of WACL (which
expands over 6 continents and includes 90 nations) can be the only way of
which to stop this international fascism from spreading. But truthfully
because the majority of people tend to turn a blind eye or view such
organizations as a bunch of people with lunatic ideas and little support is
the sole reason why such groups are strong, well connected politically and,
in light of the ignorance people hold, thousands upon thousands of
innocent people die all over the world because such groups are allowed to
continue.

I’ve broken down and separated the WACL. This way it will be
easier to understand the histoiy of WACL’s political organizations and
individual membere Keep in mind as you read, the possibility of WACL
as the regrou ping of the Third Reich. Axis elements, under a new name but
same ideology and intent.

Asian People’s Anti-Communist League (APACL)

There are several political grou ps in this branch of the World Anti-
Communist League. I shall focus on the history of the APACL as a whole
and then discuss the other political organizations such as Chiang Kai-
shek’s Kuomintang (KMT). 6

, i Dedicated m uniting from all over the world, conservatives to
battle all forms of communism, Asian Peoples Anti-Communist League
was formed in 1954. APACL is one of the original organizers to form the
central organization of which would include all anti -communist organiza-
tion, The World Anti-Communist League in 1966:

The Asian League was hailed m 1954 as a private formation of
concerned citizens, parliamentarians, and clergy, it was actually a crea-
tion of South Korean intelligence agents and the Chinese government-in-
eocde of Gerneralissimo Chiang Kai-shek. In many respects South Korea
and Taiwan appeared to be natural allies. Chiang’s Nationalists were
isolated on the tiny island of Taiwan, or Formosa, and Korea was
devastated and impoverished after the Korean War; both nations were
desperately seeking anti-communist allies throughout the world. An
organization in which conservative leaders from the United States and
Awrope y ould meet with their Asian counterparts seemed a good avenue

South Korea and Taiwan, whose sheer desire to attract other
countries, formed the APACL. Now the important aspect to remember
about APACL is that the Korean and Taiwanese intelligence agencies
were responsible for the “forming and perpetuating” of APACL. This
organization s prominent membership were drawn largely from the mili-
tary, and intelligence communities “ At the time of Senator Joseph R.
McCarthy s communist propaganda (who had Nazi connections), the U.S.
assisted APACL:

Since the Chinese Nationalist were in no position to repay the
American assistance in the 1950’s, an arrangement was made whereby
the United States was given “credits” in the Taiwanese currency (NT) for
its debts. Using this method, the Taiwanese then embarked on various
programs dictated by the Americans as a means to lower their debt. Thus,
the much-hailed Taiwanese missions to Africa to teach farmers better
agricultural practices were actually an American program, paid for by
Counterpart Funds in the American Embassy.

These funds were not just numbers in a ledger book. They were
actual sacks of money that sat in a safe in the American Embassy in
Taipei. From the little -scrutinized Counterpart Funds account may nave
come the initial financing for the Asian People’s Anti-Communist League

in 1954 and the preparatory meeting of the World Anti-Communist
League in 1958.

interesting aspect of APACL was in the late 1950’s:
c „ AT ALL was implicated in the first of a series of ominous affairs,
ban Francisco police identified Chung Wing Fon, a leader of the Chinese
Anti-Lommumst League, the Chinese american subsidary of APACL as
to the key to a narcotics deal after nabbing couriers with nearly 300
pounds of pure heroin. Strings were soon pulled and Chung, a high
standing Korean Intelligence agent with CIA connections, slipped off to
I aiwan. A primary source of funds to Taiwan and all APACL members
was the smuggling of opium from the Golden Triangle junction of Burma,
Laos and lhailand. Available evidence indicates Chee Chang Kang and
ton himself organized the Triangles opium smuggling and KMT forces
conducting negotiations with opium cultivating Meo tribesman and
Laotian Generals and with CIA assistance, nrrnnai-na tho nnium nir-liff

Chiang-Kai Kuomingtang (KMT)

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist Kuomintang
party were the sole controllers of APACL in Taiwan * To understand a bit
about Chiang Kai-shek, back during WWII and after he and his KMT were
lighting a 20-vear war agai nst the Mandarin Warlords, the Japanese, and
communists led by Mao Tse-tung. “His rule was corrupt, inept and
impotent, perhaps best illustrated bv the speed with which he lost
mainland China to Mao after WWII.* 7 Although Mao’s party did not
conquer China until 1949, Chiang established a pro-American govern-
exi e on the island of Formosa. Of course people were already
mhabitated on Formosa and Chiang Kai-shek’s nationalists came in force
attacking the unarmed Formosans:

--he rushed some twelve thousand of his Nationalist soldiers to the
island. Ihe massacres that ensued were indiscriminate and vast in scale
_ . . Fr ° m an upper window,” George Kerr, a State Department
official in tormosa, wrote, we watched Nationalist soldiers in action in
the alleys across the way. We saw Formosans bayoneted in the street
without provocation. A man was robbed before our eyes and then cut down
and run through. Another ran into the street in pursuit of soldiers
dragging a girl away from his house and we saw him, too, cut down.”

In the city ‘ * *’ * '

rule was \

graphs, the enure group of aooui 40 tormosans who were carrying
various phases of local government were taken out to a nearby airfield
from which, later, a series of shots were heard. A Formosan, who,
representing the families of these people, went to the military commander
to intercede for their lives, was taken to the public square and, after his
wife and children had been called to witness the event, he was beheaded
as an example to the rest of the people not to meddle in affairs which did
not concern them. One foreigner counted more than thirty bodies — in
student uniforms — lying along the roadside east of Taipei; they had had
their noses and ears slit or hacked off, and many had been castrated. Two
students were beheaded near my front gate.

, The irony, was American military involvement in Chiang Kai-
shek s psychotic fascist organization. Rather than go into detail about
U.S. involvement, I will briefly give a few examples here in this section.
Propaganda from America made out that Chiang Kai-shek’s government
was a Great Power during wartime fighting. The OSS (now the CIA) had
much to do with Chiang Kai-shek. OSS operation Detachment 101 was
lead by Major Carl Eifler, master of the arts in combat and war. Eifler had
an aquaintance with General Joseph Stilwell, commander of American
forces in China. Burma and India and was also Chiang Kai shek’s chief of
staff. General Claire Chennault resigned from the American Army in
1937, became Chiang Kai-shek’s air force advisor and then even later:

Hie Am erican Security Council (AbO)

One of the most
powerful groups on the
right in the United
States is the American
Security Council. ASC
was formed in 1955
which consisted of former
intelligence agents, in-
dustrialists, and politi-
cians of the far right.

ASC was modeled
after the West German
VFU which conducted
security checks on afri
cans seeking employ^
ment in private firms.

In the year of 1958, ASC
purchased one million
names which had been

derived from an Anti-

A. Jung who publishes American Vigilante Intelligence Federation,
worked very closely with Joseph Goebbels anti -common tern in the
1930V 7 The Third Reichs World Service placed Jung’s Vigilante Maga-
zine on its honor roll because Jung had served the fascist cau se sowell .

Harry Jung also involved in the New York and Chicago branches of the
German American Bund.® The pro-nazi German American Bund s sig-
nificant members were White Russians but the majority were Irisn-
American Catholics and German-American Lutherans. 80 Rudolph Hess crimes
and his assistant Wilhelm Bohle, both internationalists, determined to
secure a Western alliance against Jewish and Slavic peoples had other
Nazi members set up Pro-German groups m Europe and the U.b. Inus
after being changed from Association ofFriends, the German American

Bund secured a Foothold. r Aon

Among the prominent military men on the board of ASC is one
General Albert C. Wedemeyer. Wedemeyer was educated in part at the
German War College in Berlin. He rented an apartment from Gerhard
Rossbach, a member of the Nazi Party who had set up a Fncore.The

methods of butchering, they hung many of the Jews on meat hooks and slit
their throats; others they forced to kneel at chopping blocks while they
(Iron Guardists) beheaded, them with cleavers .

One of those who observed the scene was the American envoy to
Romania, Franklin Mott Gunther. In his report to Washington, he
recounted seeing about "sixty Jewish corpses on the hooks used, for
carcasses, all skinned. The quantity of blood about (indicated) that they
had been skinned alive.

who worked for TCI, Transintemational Computer Investment Corpora-
tion right here in Silicon Valley and became a crucial figure or this

Guardists were exiled in Germany under comfortable protection of the
Nazis. After the war, some Guardists were executed in Romania by the
new communist regime, others fled to South America, Western Europe,
and a large number came to Canada and the U.S. Chirila Ciuntu managed
to emigrate to Canada 41 where he still lives. But in the U.S., Ciuntu was
reunited with Viorel Trifa. Trifa became a Romanian Orthodox bishop. In
fact, Trifa opened the U.S enate with a prayer requested personally by
then-Vice President Richard Nixon. 42 Ciuntu was a Romanian delegate
to WACL’s conferences and still keeps in touch with Sima, who is with the
Legionnaire branch in Spain .

Croation Ustasha

Stejpan Hefer and Ante Pavelic had much in common: Roman
Catholics, members of parliament, lawyers and members of the official
terrorist group called Ustasha. 44 Ante Pavelic was the Fuhrer of the
Nation of Croatia. Stejpan Hefer was its governor general of the Baranja
County. Croatia is a large part of Northern Yugoslavia and the Ultrana-
tionalist Croatians had a plan for this Northern area — complete liquida-
tion or deportation of all non-Catholic, non-Croatian citizens:

"The Ustashi emulated Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, cloak-
ing themselves in the physical trappings of fascism and adopting the
upraised arm salute and the goose-step march. Under Italian supervision,
wearing the black uniforms of the Italian fascist militia, the Croatians
jDrepangl for guerrilla operations and the " liberation ” of their home-

So in March 1941, along with the German Army, Yugoslavia was
declared the Croatian Nation 01 Ante Pavelic. Immediately, Pavelic set to
purify the new nation:

"Serbs were herded into Orthodox churches by Ustashi, who then
barred the doors and torched the timbers. One captured photograph
shows Ustashi smiling for the camera before a table displaying the body
of a Serbian businessman whom they had castrated, disemboweled,
carved with knives, and burned beyond recognition.

The whole of Bosnia ran with blood. Bands of Ustase roamed the
countryside with knives, bludgeons and machine guns, slaughtering
Serbian men, women and little children, desecrating Serbian churches,
murdering Serbian priests, laying waste Serbian villages, torturing,
raping, burning, drowning. Killing became a cult, an obsession.

The Ustashi competed among themselves on how many of "the
enemy ” they could kill. In order to impress the Poglavnik (Pavelic) and be
promoted or singled out for "heroism,” the bands would pose with their
victims before cameras. Captured photographs they are too grisly to
reproduce -show Ustashi be- heading a Serb with an axe, driving a saw

, is if to prove they had a role in the atrocity,
collected the eyes of Serbs they had killed, sending them, when they had
enough, to the Poglavnik for his inspection or proudly displaying them
and other human organs in the cafes of Zagreb.

Many Germans and the Catholic clergy who backed the Ustasha
were sickened by these acts. Mussolini himself, hid Jews and Serbs and
refused Ustasha troops entry in the Italian Troops Station in Croatia.
Hefer himself had deported many Serbian and Jewish peoples to concen-
tration camps. After British Forces released Ante Pavelic, he escaped to
Argentina. Hefer would escape Europe through the well-run Catholic
escape route of which Father Dragano vie facilitated the escape of thou-
sands of Ustashi to South America. Hefer would also arrive in Argentina,
where Pavelic and Hefer set up the Croatian Liberation Movement (HOP)
with headquarters and supreme council in Buenos Aires. Hefer headed up
the supreme council until Pavelic’s death in 1959. The Croatian Revolu-
tionary Brotherhood with close ties to the old Ustasha network committed
several terrorist attacks:

1) Bombed Yugoslav passenger plane 1972 (killed 27 people)

2) Hijacked a TWA plane in New York Grilled a N.Y. cop)

3) Killed Vladimer Rolovic in Stockholm, Yugoslav embassy in
April 1971

4) Hijacked a Swedish plane in September 1971

The leader of the killers was Dinko Sakic of the Ustashi. Wanted
for war crimes as SS commandant in WWH and for his role in Pavelics
cabinet, Sakic attended the WACL conference in Paraguay in 1 979. The
Ustashi became a part of WACL whose league representative was Steipan
Hefer until his death in 1973.

April 10 is known as Croatian Independence Day. To Yugoslavi-
ans, especially Serbs and Jews, it is remembered as the day their
Holocaust began. During his tenure as governor of California, Ronald
Reagan passed a resolution recognizing the date as Independent Croatia
Day as a favor to his Croatian constituents. He later rescinded the
proclamation and apologized to the Yugoslav government when informed
of the true significance of April 10.

Ukranian Nationalists

In the late 1930’s, the Ukranian Nationalists would be organized
by the Nazis for an invasion of Poland. Yaroslav Stetsko became a driving
force behind the creation of the Organization of Ukranian Nationalists
(OUN/B). The Nazis then organized regiments, grouping them as the
Ukranian Nightingales for missions of sabotage and to create skirmishes
and guerrilla warfare. In June of 1941, the Germans invaded the Soviet
Union and with them followed the Ukranian Nightengales led by German
officer, Theodore Oberlander and Yaroslav Stetsko. Oberlander continues
his partnership with Yaroslav Stetsko through WACL. His command of
Ukranian troops as honorary SD officer led to the many purges in Lvov.
Oberlander remains on AB1SF s European Freedom council and led Ger-
man delegates to WACL conferences. Stetsko named himself premier of
the new Ukranian state: 40

"The Ukrainian State will closely cooperate with great National
Socialist Germany which under the leadership of Adolf Hitler will create
a New Order in Europe and throughout the world. The Ukrainian army
will fight together with the allied German army for the New Order in the
world. ,6 °

Within hours of Stetsko’s declaration in Lvov, the rounding up of
Jews, intellectuals, greater Russians, Communist party officials, anyone
suspected of opposing the Ukrainian “New Order”would be rounded up
ana executed.

"This roundup took place on July 2, 1941, two days after Stetsko
had arrived in Lvov and assumed the premiership of the Ukraine. During
the period in which Stetsko was in Lvov and, by his own claim, in charge
of the city, an estimated seven thousand residents, mostly Jews, were
murdered. Tens of thousands more were exterminated in the surrounding
countryside by marauding OUN/B units. " 5l

Stetsko today heads the Anti -Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), an
organization that has become the largest shelter for Nazi collaborators in
the world. 82 Stetsko is a major leader of WACL, who was involved with
the league before WACL began. Stetsko had gone to Taiwan several times
to meet Chiang Kai-shek. In 1983, Stetsko met with President Reagan
and Vice President George Bush. Another leading member of the Ukrain-
ian emigres is Lev Dobrianskv, who heads up the Ukrainian Congress
Committee of America (UCCA) and who was President Reagan’s ambas-
sador to the Bahamas. Dobriansky’s daughter serves on the staff of the
National Security Council. 53 Pat ••••••••• ~ -• • - .

The Knights Of Malta: The sovereign Military Order of Malta
(SMOM), the military wing of the Vatican, plays a crucial role in ideologi-
cal fanaticism. If one is not wealthy, of aristocratic lineage or does not
share a psychological world view from the crusader mentality of these
“warrior monks” 57 , then you are not qualified to be a Knight of Malta. This
organization dates back to 1099:

“In 1187, the Order was driven militarily from Jerusalem by
Saladin. The Knights were forced to flee successively to Acre, Cyprus
(1291), and finally to Rhodes (1310) where they subdued the local popu-
lation and established a military dictatorship enjoying territorial sover-

forces of 200,000 troops and 250 ships after a six-month siege. By 1530,
under Grand. Master Villiers de I'lsle-Adam, the Knights established their
headquarters on the island of Malta which had been given to them by
Charles V.” 5 ®

and more. 1

J. Peter Grace played a role in Project Paperclip. Project Paperclip
was the U.S.’s project of bringing in Nazi scientists, many olthem wanted
for war crimes. J. Peter Grace brought in Otto Ambros:

“Otto Ambros... was a chemist and a Director of the notorious LG.
Farben Company which supplied gasoline and rubber for Hitler's war
effort. Ambros... played a supervisory role in the construction ofFarben's
plant in the Polish village of Auschwitz. For l.G. Farben, Auschwitz
concentration inmates provided a plentiful source of cheap labor. ...The
Nuremberg prosecution charged that each day at Farben's plant one
hundred people died from sheer exhaustion.... Otto Ambros was convicted
of slavery and mass murder and sentenced to eight years in prison. But
even while on trial at Nuremberg, Ambros was a target for U.S. recruiters
from “Project Paperclip". His prison sentence was commuted after only
three years by American officials and he was helped in a bid to enter the
United States by...J. Peter Grace, President of W.R. Grace, a major
American chemical company. ..An internal State Department document
descries how J. Peter Grace helped Otto Ambros in his efforts to enter the
U.S.

Grace also chaireda committee for Ronald Reagan on cutting costs
in the U.S. government. 63 Grace also headed up the An

.S. government.” 0 Grace also headed up the American Institute
for Free Labor Development which was a merger of the CIA funds for
activities in Central America. In 1961, Grace helped found AIFLD
which has helped the CIA channel millions of dollars in Latin America.

J. Peter Grace is a very good friend and mentor of Pat Robertson. CBN has
been very much involved with the Contras in Honduras and Nicaragua.
Otto Ambros who lives in Mannheim, Germany does consulting work for
Grace’s company:

“When the scandal broke in West Germany over the Flick company
paying huge sums of money to various politicians and parties, it was
learned that additionally Flick had taken improper tax waivers and used
the money to pump millions of dollars into W.R. Grace Co., becoming a
major shareholder. Friedrich Karl Flick himself sits on the Grace Board.
As the Moscow New Times reminded its readers (No. 8, 1983, citing Per
Spieg el). Friedrich Karl's father, Flick Jr., had poured money into the
coffers of the Nazi party in January 1933, and, “after Goering had
promised the Ruhr magnates that *\ the March 5 elections will be the last
elections in this decade and perhaps in this century ' he contributed
another 200,000 marks. This sum was handed to SS Reichfuhrer
Himmler. Flick Jr. was subsequently sentenced at Nuremberg to seven
years for using slave labor, spoliation and being an accessory to the crimes
of the SS. To ensure a good beginning for his son, the war criminal sent him
after the war for early training with W.R. Grace.

The Knights of Malta, spread over 42 countries, has a membership
of 10,000. As members of W ACL, they have channeled some fourteen
million dollars to the Contras. One person besides Grace involved in this
channelling was attorney Prescott Bush Jr., brother of Vice President
George Buth. e8

Moonies: Reverend Sun Myung Moon, supposedly was visited by
Jesus Christ when he was 16 and was told by him *You are the son I have

been seeking.”, 6 ? Moon’s Unification Church.is.indeed no culL.lt is a^yery
well organized front which is extremely political. Alter the Korea Gate
hearings, the Unification church was found out to be a KC1A (South
Korean branch of intelligence) front. 70 The important branch of the
Moonies is CAUSA, which is the political wing of the Unification church.
CAUSA has been linked to Oliver North in the Irangate scandal. 71 The
new right Moon organization is an integral part of WACL which privately
raises money for activities such as the Contras. Moon owns the Washing-
ton Times. Insight Magazine and a fishing industry in the U.S. They have
been involved in numerous money scandals. 72 Moon himself was impris-
oned for tax evasion. Robert Anderson of Gray and Co. spoke at the
Moonies CAUSA conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica, a man who is a long
time Moon associate, pleaded guilty to operating an illegal Carribean
Bank, evading taxes on his personal income, and 79,000 dollars he
received from the moonies he witheld from the I.R.S. when the Moonies
hired his company. 73 CAUSA works closely with the government of
Taiwan. CAUSA’s leader Bo Hi Pak is a longtime South Korean CIA
Colonel and right-hand man to Reverend Moon:

CAUSA is the principal political arm of the Unification Church. It

founded 'and began organizing similar seminars in the U.S.

Once limited to the Western Hemisphere, since 1983 CAUSA has
become a global project with significant activities on every continent. The
general thrust of the CAUSA seminar is anti-communist education from
a historical perspective. The CAUSA antidote to communism is “ Godism ",
which is simply the Unification Church philosophy without Moonist my-
thology.

Bo Hi Pak offered a CAUSA perspective of the Godist or Moonist
Kingdom when speaking of Paraguayan dictator Gen. Alfredo Stro-
essner. “1 believe he's a special man, chosen by God to run his country."
This echoes an earlier revelation by Moon who said of the 1961 military
coup of Korean dictator Park Chung Hee: “God set up a powerful new
leader, the present president of this Korea, and the order in our society. 14

Kodama was the head of Japanese organized crime, the Yakuza.
One of the lieutenants, Osami Kuboki, became head of the Unification
Church in Japan, as well as a leader in WACL. Soon afterward, WACL

Sasakawa's relationship to the Moon organization, which dates
back to 1958, continues to this day, including ongoing financing of both the
Unification Church and Shokyo Rengo, which is controlled by the Church.
Sasakawa, Kodama, and other important “Class A" war criminals

were mysteri-
ously released
from Sugamo
prison only a year
and a half after
World War II.
They went on to
found the ruling
Liberal Demo-
cratic Party and
played prominent
roles since. One
fellow inmate,
Nobusuke Kishi,
became a prime
minister. In 1959,
Kishi helped es-
tablish a quasi-

f overnmental,
oat-racing / gam-
bling franchise,
which he gave to
Sasakawa, who
grew fantastic-
ally rich from the
proceeds. Kishi
was also the
prime mover in
establishing
APACL in Japan
and remained ac-
tive in WACL
throughout the

1960's, serving as chairman of the planning committee in 1970.

Sasakawa was described by the U.S. Army intelligence as “one of
the most active fascist organizers prior to war." In the 1930's both
Sasakawa and Kodama were jailed: Sasakawa for plotting the murder of
a former premier, and Kodama for plotting the murder of a prime minister.
Kodama was a notorious war profiteer and Japanese intelligence agent in
China. “His long and fanatic involvement in ultra-nationalist activities,
violence included, and his skill in appealing to youth make him a man who,
if released from internment, would surely be a grave security risk.

Interviews with ex-moonies revealed that Robert Boettcher wrote:

Moon was “ appalled " by American individualism, and he consid-
ered relocating to Germany, where people “were trained in totalism."
Some former, members recall that Nazi films on organizing Hitler Youth
were shown as examples to Moonie leaders. Nothing was more important
than developing a cadre of strong leaders totally subservient to his will.

WACL’s La Mano Blanco

La Mano Blanca (The White Hand) is a league of international
death squads. The front for La Mano is the Latin American Anti-
Communist Confederation (CAL) which is based in Mexico. This organi-
zation which was WACL’s Latin American branch, operates from Argen-
tina to Mexico:

CAL is the Latin American affiliate of the World Anti-Communist
League, a right-wing organization linked to ultraconservative groups in
Asia, Europe and the US.. A Mexican intelligence source saiaCAL was
founded by a Neo-Nazi splinter group after WW1I.

He is a thin, fair-haired man in his 30s. By day, he is a doctor at
the National Hospital in Tegucigalpa. By night, he is an assassin for ELA,
the Spanish acronym for Anti-Communist Combat Army. (Honduran
death squad)

f ‘Wego to annual conferences. I went to last year's it was in Buenos
Aires. The triple A put it on."

La Mano Blanco is the name for the warning white glove or hand
print left on or near a victim's body. According to a former CIA “ dirty

tricks” specialist, La Mano Blanco was set up by the CIA in Guatemala in
the after the agency engineered the ouster of president Jacob

Arbenz.

CAL is directed by a secret order called “Los Tecos.” 79 The assas-
sination of Manwell Buendia, a columnist for Mexico’s most widely read
newspaper, who denounced corruption, power abuse, CIA activities in
Mexico and far right centers of the Roman Catholic Church such as Opus
Dei is among more than 30 journalists who have been murdered in Mexico
since 1971 . Los Tecos may have been involved in this murder for at the
time of his death, Buendia was writing about such groups as Tecos. Los
Tecos’ anti-semitic ideology and pro-fascist beliefs date back to the Third
Reich. 1 The Autonomus University was put together by Dr. Arscar F.
Wiegand, of the U.S. State Dept, and liberal american foundations who
financed and advised the development of the new university in
Guadalajara. The university was taken over by Tecos and american
embassy officials became interested that the Autonoma wa 3 run by
people, ^tremendously active ideologically and particularly against com-

unusuS'smns^money^fmHiSn^ollMs^rlJiemmrersify^^Hfyse^m

provide nioney for privately owned developments. 83 AID is a CIA front
that trains Latin American military and police units in torture tech-

sors and school officials; 2- Student spies, who kept their eyes on
suspected left-leaning professors or students; 3- The shock troops, the
strongarm division.

The shock troop division may indeed be involved in the death
squad activities. 86 Although WACL knew of Tecos’. pro-fascist, anti-
semitic beliefs for ten years, it ousted Tecos after considerable publicity
about Tecos became known in 1984. This is hardly an honest gesture for
the nazi war criminals of the Ustaha, Ukrainian, Iron Guard, death
squads etc... who still to this day remain.

There are many Latin American death squads represented in
WACL. Mario Sandoval Alarcon has been leader of the Guatemalan death
squad for some 20 years. His National Liberation Movement (MLN) has
killed thousands of harmless Guatemalans. Argentina has helped Guate-
malan death squads in training of interrogation first and then death.
Sandoval had a joyous time in 1980 because he was present at Ronald
Reagan’s inaugural ball. 7 Sandoval was also to have allegedly worked for
the CIA and Colonel Alvarez Ruiz was the contact man to CLA agents in
Guatemala and Mexico. It must be understood that Guatemala had a

government .... ... .. . -•

was affiliated with WACL and CAUSA. 9 Mason was a P-2 member who
escaped capture, when democracy returned to Argentina, and lied to
Miami. It was in Miami that he and General Luis Garcia Mesa (pres, of
Bolivia and Klaus Barbie was his right hand man) were drug trafficking.
Mason had become one of the chiefarug traffickers of Latin America.
Mason was recently arrested right here in Foster City, Ca.

Another important person to remember in Latin American death
squads is Roberto D’Aubuisson. D’Aubuisson is the leader of the El
Salvadoran death squad. He is close to Jesse Helms who sends his aide
to El Salvador regularly to meet with D’Aubussion. Jesse Helms, a long
time member of WACL, reacted like the White House when reports came
out one after the other about how D’Aubuisson was the leader ol the death
squads in El Salvador and who had also been involved in the assassination
of Archbishop Romero. Still the white house and Jesse Helms who had
first hand knowledge of this, simply acted as if they didn’t. D’Aubu isson
was trained at the Taiwanese Political Warfare Cadres Academy. 4

The Others

Indeed WACL is very large and well connected. Some of the other
groups to keep in mind are Accuracy in Media and Western Goals.
Accuracy in Media is headed up by Reed Irvine and is tightly connected to
WACL. The organization is dedicated to “fairness” in the media? 9 ® AIM
was asked by WACL’s chairman John K. Singlaub to get out in the media
that Los Tecos was not as severe then truthfully exposed by Jack
Anderson and others. 6 This group is very powerful and it might explain
why prestigious newspapers such as the New York Times are careful in
what they print. Irvine has an annual “private chat” with New York Times
publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger. 7 Irvine is everywhere, on talk shows,
panel discussions, annual share holders meetings, on his daily radio
commentary program that is aired on 70 radio stations, and writing a
column syndicated in 100 newspapers around the U.S. 98 In fact, the movie
“Amerika” the pro nuclear TV program shown here in the U.S. on ABC
was:

“Goldenson told me... he had something of interest that would

make me happier.” And it was at that meeting that ABC first told
shareholders of the project. (ABC acknowledges the exchange but denies
that Irvine had an influence.

Irvine may have had some influence for at a shareholders meeting
for ABC he pressed his contention that the ABC movie the “Day After” had
been a tool of Soviet propaganda/ 00 AIM has gone after journalists from
the Washington Post, New York Times, CBS news and even two Research-
ers at Foothill College Radio Station (KFJC) in Los Altos Hills and many
more. As an example of targeting journalists, AIM targeted Washington
Post journalist Karen DeYoung accusing her of supporting the Sandinis-
tas. And supposedly we are free to say etc... AIM:

In its campaign against DeYoung, AIM was interested in more
than her dispatches. In 1980 she taught a course on international report-
ing at the Washington School, a seminar program sponsored by the Insti-
tute for Policy Studies. For AIM, as for the right generally, I.P.S. is
Kremlin-on-the-Potomac, and when the organization [A1MJ heard that
DeYoung was teaching there At sent two representatives to enroll in the
course and to tape record it.

AIM reminds me of when Jesse Helms was trying to take over a TV
station or something of this nature and a cartoon in the newspaper
depicted Jesse Helms, upon a TV set saying after a 25 minute prayer
break, we’ll return for the last 5 minutes of today’s news! Western Goals,
also a member of WACL, whose chairman John K. Singlaub is on the
advisory board of Western Goals, was involved in a series scandal in Los
Angeles when police officers had allowed Western Goals tap in on their
cpmputers. Western Goals were keeping lists on people who were subver-
sive. Many movie stars’ names and Rode singers such as Jackson Brown
were on these lists at Western Goals. 102

Western Goals chief sponsor is Nelson Bunke Hunt, a texas billionare and
its njgpbership range from conservative congressmen to military offi-
cers. Western Goals has also been involved in the Irangate scandal.
Carl R. “Spitz” Channel, who now heads Western Goals, pleaded guilty to
defrauding the U.S. government of more than 2 million dollars in taxes.
This amount was raised for the contras and Channel named Oliver North
as a co-conspirator. Ronald Reagan, in 1986, praised Channel: ‘Tour Cen-
tral American FreedomProgram puts you on America’s front line in the
battle for Democracy.” 104

Olaf Palme, A Man Of Peace

There have been countless numbers of assassinations in the world.
In the U .S., the public is always told assassinations are done by “lunatics.”
Although endless documentation proves Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm
X, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and others were murdered by
elements of the U.S. government, the majority accept the “lunatic” asser-
tion. The rest of the world’s assassinations are done by political coups,
groups, terrorists etc.. seldom the result of a “lunatic.” OlafPalme was one
of the most respected leaders, a man who struggled hard for peace and
disarmament, a politician with a conscience who spoke out about the U.S.
war in Vietnam. He was assassinated Februaiy 28, 1986. Who shot
Palme? Although I can not solve the case, some interesting facts around
the assassination are indeed worth discussing. OlafPalme was not well
liked among the Swedish military and security police. The security police,

known as SaPo, by manv accounts “hated Palmes guts.” 105 SaPobelieved
Palme was selling out to the Soviets and as stunen right wingers they even
kept a file on Palme.

"... right- wing indoctrination in Swedish security police goes back
goes back to pro-German feelings in the ’ 30s . At the end of end ofWWII,
the pro-German attitude changed to pro-Americanism.

SaPo depends on the CLA for information about Latin America and
considers all political refugees potential \ terrorists ' ..."What the CIA says
is the word of God. They depend on it 200 percent.”

The security police depend heavily on the West German BND
(formed by Reinhara Gehlen, Hitler's chief master spy, and is the CIA W.
German branch) and the Israeli Mossad.” 106

Not only did the Swedish military and security police dislike
Palme, but it that feeling was also shared by the World Ant-Communist
League and CAUSA (Sun Myung Moons political arm of the Unification
church) 10 ' , whose military and intelligence connections and support from
the White House are interesting to think about. Why the thinking? One
of the groups that may have been involved in Palme’s assassination are
the Croatian Ustasha:

u Police declared a national alert in a search for the killer and sug-
gested a Croatian separatist group might have plotted the assassina-
tion. 08

“The i

tioned Ustashi..” 1{

“....police suspected the exile Croatian terror organization “Us-
tasha” as a possibly being behind the killing. 10

It is again rather interesting that WACL , CAUSA and Ustasha
have seemed to make themsleves a part of Olf Palme. It should also be
known that OlafPalme recognised the Sandinistas. Palme sent Swedish
advisors to observe the Nicaraugan elections that took place. WACL is a
prime “private” supporter/ supplier of the contras. It remains to be seen
about Olaf Palme’s death, but Ustasha or no Ustasha connections, it is in-
deed a sad event in the history of this world.

John K. Singlaub

As chairman of WACL, Singlaubnas much blood stained upon his
hands. In Vietnam in 1965, Singlaub headed the CIA’s “counter terror
program” called the Intelligence Coordination and Exploitation Program
(later known as Phoenix Project) which ran assassination teams which
killed Vietnamese civilians in the thousands. 111 Singlaub, among the 29
defendants, such as Richard Secord, Theodore Shakley, Thomas Clines
(WACL member), Albert Hakim, Robert Owen, etc... are in an affidavit
that has been filed by the Christie Institute seeking a lawsuit for twqjour-
nalists one of whom was injured in the La Penca bombing in Costa
Rica. 112 Singlaub is a part of the “old boys’ network”, appropriately titled
the “secret team.” WACL and Singlaub himself are also involved in the

ert to the nation's law enforcement agencies men-

Irangate scandal. 113 Singlaub is presently hanging out in the Philip-
pines, supposedly seeking a “hidden treasure”. He is in act assiting and
advising the development of counterinsurgency plans in the development
of rightwing, anti-communist vigilante organizations. 114 Jonn K.
Singlaub has been said to be in “arm3 trading” in selling M-l 6 rifles on the
black market in the Philliphines. 110

In conclusion, I have tried to expose some of the many tentacles of
the WACL, so that you the readers will be aware of their background when

I present a series of columns of the subject of Irangate, or when you listen
to the hearings. It is important to realize this vast fascist network that
operates with Nazis, Assassins, Terrorists, Anti-Semites, Militarists,
Latin American Death Squads, Narcotics Traffickers, CIA and much
more, that link straight to to the heart of the secret quest: to establish a
Fourth Reich and total destruction of all “subversive” counter ideals. It is
indeed a “World of Ideological Fanaticism” obstructing our freedom, life
and future here on earth!

|ACTIVE INGREDIENTS - "Fly Again" cassette

An interesting variety of sounds here: piledriving I
Ipunk and thrash, rap, and MENTORS-ish metal rockl
llyrics and personal and political. Some pretty, hot stuff I
Ion this one. (WG) _ 1 * * *

ADOLESCENTS - "Brats in Battalions" LP

It’s hard to follow up on a debut LP, never mind one
that’s generally considered one of the punk rock
"classics," even if six years have gone by. But the
revived (and revised) ADS do a pretty decent job — at
least they still sound like the ADOLESCENTS, with
tuneful songs, classic guitar and vocals. They even
throw in a few oldies ("Welcome to Reality" and ’’Losing
Battle"), a few covers ("House of the Rising Sun", "I Gol
a Right"). Very recognizable, but only time will tell
whether it measures up. (TY)

AMENITY - EP

I Personal/political lyrics, repetitive thrash song 1
structures, exceptional speed, and tight delivery are all a
I part of the package with this debut EP. Of course, its
I Been done often and better, but that doesn’t stop at least
three of the four or five songs here from being strong,

I P. O. Box 8623, Chula Vista, CA |

ARTICLES OF FAITH - "In this Life" LP

Finally out, this second and final LP by this defunct
Chicago outfit. Recorded over two years ago, this i is
what HUSKER DU and especially SOUL ASYLUM
sounded like at their best. Personal lyrics delivered with
plenty of emotion. Thumbs up, dude. (DH)

I (Lone Wolf Records. 1235 Lambeth Rd., Oakville,

| Ontario, L6H 2E2 CANADA)

ARTISTIC DECLINE - "Random Violence" LP

I didn’t think this'd every come out as it vyas
recorded quite a while back, but ran into all-too-typical
indie problems. This LP encompasses a- whole range of
HC styles, none handled generically. Very good L.A.
modern punk, so I hope we get to see them live now, too.

Don’t let the predominance of guitars fool you, this is

It's a trade secret that these guys' debut album was

well as toward basic pop-punk with rich hooks. The
change is interesting; the result is an enjoyable record]

most of this LP struck me as ineffective and rather
weak. Get back the grind, guys! (WG)

MESS - "Get into a Mess" flexi

This band frequently has flow, metalish intros, then
launches into non-metaflic straightahead thrash. live

| MORBID OUTBURST - "My Explosion" LP

, Hardcore, sort of like a fast PERSONALITY I
CRISIS. Rock structures, pounding beat, crunch guitar,
semi-theatrical vocals. Heavy handed. (TY)

(Fun house Records, Postfach 2069, 3000 Hannover 1, W.
[GERMANY) ’

NEY^ROraEK^^Dea^I^l^ov^r?^^^^^

Pop punk and thrash. The music's good, song titles
like "Fuck'n Girl" and "Nagality" leave me scratching my
head, and it came packaged with a flexi from another
band, the JOKERS. Same planet, different worlds. (TY)
(Neo Family Records, JAPAN)

NO ALLEGIANCE - "No Cash Value" LP

On their second LP. this German band upholds a
uniformly good quality of energy, instrumental tightness,
and anthemic lyrics. Overall, a very pleasant package,
but on listening to the individual songs, nothing really
stands out as unique or especially gripping. Justa nother
buncha mid- to fast-tempo HC/punk songs with the
slightest of 'core tinges. (SS)

(Destiny, David R. Pollack, Winterfcldstr. 36, 1000 Berlin
3 0, W. GERMA NY)

OUTO - LP

A real powerhouse band and album. Non-stop
quality thrash, great sound, and even hooks and
choruses. Guitar gets out front a few times, but it's
restrained and the overall band sound is maintained.
With titles like "Lost of Words" and "Not Worth Dawn"
(thev do mean "damn") you can't go wrong. Killer. (TY)
(Selfish Records, JAPAN)

Tanx ROMANA - LP

Political punk from Greece. This is '77 style punk
with a bit of a CLASH influence. Reconfirms my opinion
that Greek, along with French, is the worst sounding
language to work with in punk songs. (TY)

PISSED BOYS - "Tschingaska" LP

Pretty

Most of this month’s Japanese batch have been
reallv poppy, as is this one. I guess it’s a trend. First
metal punk, now this. But it’s not ace pop-punk, just
wimpy ass stuff. Aaagh! (TY)

though the lyrics are very strong, I don't think the music
really comes across wiih the same emotional impact.

POWERAGE - "The Last Dove" EP

This South African band makes another political
stand that shows real courage, but the music here is the
best POWERAGE has yet committed to vinyl. Simple,
urgent HC with a rich guitar sound is the style - and it's
that combination of power and credibility that makes this
a winner. Very strong! (SSJ

RIPCORD - "Defiance of Power" LP

Straight forward thrash with simple three chord riffs,
rapid fire drum beats, loud bass, and harsh vocals, al
vvhich is put together at 100 MPH with a stop an(i go
structure. This makes for 15 aggressively enjoyable
songs, with the nice added touch of diverse lyrics which
deal with subjects from farting and skateboarding to war
and vivisection. Good stuff. (MS) h

Just this thing for folks who can't afford the steep
import prices for great Swedish garage music. While the
MOUTHS aren't the best at what they do, they still
manage to kick up a decent fuss full of ^oOs style ravers.
Lots of early demos and alternative takes for the

THREE JOHNS - "Live in Chicago" LP

I've been telling Tim that these guys produce some
of the most tunefuf and rockin' post-punky stuff that's
come around since the early GANG OF FOUR,
especially live. And now that sound has been captured
on this album, which really nails the band's chunky
rhythm section, tasteful (but loud) guitar attack, and droll
I political wit. A cooker. /JB)

Two songs each from FEED YOUR HEAD and HEX.

anti-system. This label continues to support relative
unknowns. Keep it up! (DH)
